Deadline: 16-Jun-25
The Lazord Foundation is accepting applications for its Fellowship Program for Host Organizations.
Being a host organization for a Lazord Fellow means not only taking an active role in the professionalization of a young graduate, but also adding an active and engaged member to your team.
The local Lazord Chapter will provide your organization with networking opportunities and a chance to participate in the training exchange program. They support fellowship placements in a diversity of organizations (non-profit, for-profit, local/international, etc).
The Lazord Fellowship is a one-year regional program with chapters in Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia and Greece. The program has been running since 2010 with its pilot in Egypt and has been growing internationally since then. After a competitive recruitment effort, fellows are selected in each country and placed for one year in a local organization working to benefit society. Each fellow receives training and mentoring sessions provided by the Lazord Fellowship and its network to help realize his/her full potential as a responsible leader.
