America House Kyiv is the U.S. Embassy’s premier venue for cultural programs and outreach in Ukraine. America House supports U.S. public diplomacy in Ukraine by creating a welcoming, technology-forward space that fosters open discussion and debate, builds cultural bridges to deepen communication on key issues, provides opportunities for professional and personal skill-building, and sparks creativity, innovation, and collaboration around shared Ukrainian and U.S. values.

The recipient organization will be responsible for staffing and operating America House in close cooperation with the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy. Key program activities under this cooperative agreement include managing local Ukrainian staff with expertise in program and event management; purchasing and maintaining all necessary technology, materials, and supplies to support engagement with in-person and remote Ukrainian audiences; and designing a flexible and dynamic program of activities each month to interact with Ukrainian visitors and encourage visitors to return regularly to America House. Decisions on staffing and program content will be made in consultation with the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv.
