VIA Global Community Fellowship Program 2024/2025 (Funded) Deadline: 27 October, 2024
Applications are open for the VIA Global Community Fellowship Program 2024/2025. The Global Community Fellowship is a 13-15 month program for recent university graduates and starting as well as experienced professionals. Fellows work at NGOs, schools, universities, and social enterprises across Asia 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.
Fellows engage in a wide range of activities and tasks with 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 needfinding, 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 our local partners.
Funding
The fellowship is fully funded by VIA, with support from alumni, grants, and partners. The funding includes:
- Approximately three weeks of training, covering program management, cross-cultural communication, leadership development, local language lessons, and teacher training.
- Comprehensive emergency medical and evacuation insurance (fellows will be reimbursed for any add-ons they need to purchase directly when completing their enrollment).
- Living and housing stipend (based on local cost of living) while working at your post.
- Intra-Asia travel (from training to your post and wrap-up conference).
- Language study grants and tutors are available at some posts.
Eligibility
- Open to 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 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.
Deadline: 27 October, 2024
