Deadline: 21-May-21
Bey GOOD has launched Global Citizen Fellowship Program that will unearth African youth with remarkable potential.
Through the program, 15 young people will each engage in a paid, year-long fellowship aligned to one of Global Citizen’s four pillars of activity: creative, campaigns, rewards, and marketing.
This dynamic program will take Fellows through a multi-phase curriculum, specifically designed to equip them with the skills and tools they need to thrive – not just during their time with Global Citizen but also in any future professional environment.
Throughout the program, Fellows will be immersed in the use of digital technology for social change, storytelling tactics that shift attitudes, the importance of building lasting professional relationships, and the role of innovation in a constantly changing world.
What is Global Citizen?
Global Citizen is a community of people like you. People who want to learn about and take action on the world’s biggest challenges — and use their power to get other people involved too. We bring you stories and actions that make a difference. That help fight extreme poverty and inequality around the world, and support approaches that will make life more sustainable for people and the planet. Sign up now and help us to reach our goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030
