Deadline: 27-Oct-2024
Applications are now open for the Global Community Fellowship, a 13-15 month program for recent university graduates and starting as well as experienced professionals to support community development, capacity-building, and education.
By working directly with communities, fellows get hands-on experience learning how organizations in Asia are using creative and innovative methods to address critical social challenges.
Categories
- Fellows engage in a wide range of activities and tasks with our local partners. Each post has a unique mix of responsibilities, which generally fall into the following categories:
- Education: Fellows advance student development in critical thinking and cross-cultural communication to access future education and professional opportunities.
- Training & Capacity-building: Fellows develop training resources and curricula for partners to enhance their organizational operations and optimize for impact. You may help with need finding, research, training program or workshop design, facilitation, and assessment for partner staff and/or the communities they serve.
- Community Development: Fellows support community development and international communication efforts by facilitating access resources, networks, and collaboration opportunities. You may help with fundraising, project management, and community outreach efforts of their local partners.
Funding Information
- Fellow per diems vary from country to country and city to city depending on the cost of living. Fellows may receive from $200 to $800 per month, depending on the local cost of living. The per diem is comparable to that of a local salary and allows you to live comfortably at a local level. The exact amount will be stated in the placement offer letter sent to selected candidates.
Eligibility Criteria
- Starting and experienced professionals who have completed at least a 4-year undergraduate degree by their post start date.
- Due to certain visa/work permit restrictions and the needs of their partner organizations, fellowship posts are often limited to US citizens/residents, or individuals who have received their bachelor’s degree from a US university. They will review the eligibility of non-US citizens on a case-by-case basis.
