The Fellows in Residence Program is a paid, year-long Fellowship for emerging social change leaders who aspire to build a movement of youth working for change. We search the world for young people who have led movements, campaigns, nonprofits, and social enterprises, made significant positive change in their community and are looking for their next leadership opportunity as they work towards a lifelong career as a leader in the social sector. Through a competitive application process, we select an exceptional cohort of young people (under age 26) who join the Peace First team for one year to lead our programs in their home region.
Application Deadline: June 4th 2021 – https://www.peacefirst.org/fellows
During their year of service, Fellows-in-Residence receive competitive pay, professional development funding, mentorship and training and travel opportunities. They join a global Community of Practice, collaborating with other Fellows in Residence from around the world who become a critical source of support, guidance, feedback and friendship on their journey.
Benefits
Each Peace First Fellow in Residence will receive a fellowship stipend that varies based on location. The stipend takes into consideration the cost of living, comparable fellowship stipends, local compensation for full time employees, local taxes and local purchasing power.
