Deadline: 20-Aug-21
The Gratitude Network has announced 2022 Gratitude Network Fellowship Program to create a community of powerful leaders positively contributing to the lives of under-resourced children and youth globally.
The Fellowship seeks to increase the leadership development capacity of leaders who in turn transform their organizations. They engage Coaches and Expert Advisors to support the Fellows to hone their leadership skills, work with their teams more effectively, and ultimately increase their organization’s impact for children and youth. They also bring together these social impact changemakers to learn and grow from one another. The network effect accelerates change – leaders learn from and thrive on each other within the network.

- Education such as school systems, training of teachers, education technology, and early childhood programs as well as how/what children learn at school or outside of the classroom (e.g. after-school or summer programs).
