In view of the regional Covid situation and the preparation time needed for partners to plan for the trip, NYC will extend the travel advisories against YEP trips to 31 Dec 2020. NYC will not be accepting any applications nor approving grants for YEP trips (including recce trips) taking place before 31 Dec 2020.
