U.s. Ambassador's Youth Council, Z. S.

U.s. Ambassador's Youth Council, Z. S. is a non-profit organization registered in the Czech Republic, specifically located in Prague, with an active SAM.gov registration until February 28, 2026. The organization appears to focus on cultural exchange, educational programming, and youth engagement initiatives related to U.S.-Czech relations. Its primary operational scope involves designing and executing educational and cultural programs that facilitate understanding between American and Czech youth, with a particular emphasis on promoting democratic values, historical awareness, and bilateral cultural connections.

The organization has consistently received federal grant awards from two primary U.S. government agencies: the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. These grants have supported diverse projects including organizing American-style summer camps, creating interactive historical exploration experiences in Prague, challenging negative perceptions about armed forces, and hosting election-related events. Specifically, their grants have included developing outdoor educational games exploring Prague's history, organizing summer camp programs for FLEX participants, creating events around American holidays, and producing engagement activities surrounding the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. The grants range from cooperative agreements to project grants, with award dates between 2020 and 2024, and project completion dates extending into 2025. Each grant demonstrates a strategic approach to youth education, cultural understanding, and bilateral engagement between the United States and the Czech Republic.
