Youth Exchange Programme

Funding guidlines

This leaflet outlines the guidelines which will be applied by the Commonwealth Youth Exchange Council (CYEC) in considering applications for grants involving youth exchange groups. They have been agreed with Connect Youth (British Council) / FCO which provides most of the funds available.

Applications are considered by the Council’s Grants Sub-Committee which includes representatives from Education Authorities, voluntary youth organisations and Central Government. CYEC is committed to an equal opportunities policy and is particularly concerned that all young people are able to participate in Commonwealth youth exchange.
