The Miracle Corners of the MCW Global Young Leaders Fellowship Programme 2023 is now accepting applications. The Young Leaders Fellowship Programme is a unique leadership opportunity available to all young people from all over the world between the ages of 18 and 26 who want to work on community projects related to economic security, health, and education.
Through leadership development, global citizenship, self-awareness, and vision planning, the one-year program equips young people to become change agents in their communities.
The Community Needs Assessment is the first step in the MCW Global Fellowship. For young people to better understand their local communities, a one-month community needs mapping. Young Leaders take part in a week-long intensive in-person training program that helps them become leaders of positive change in their communities after the community needs assessment. Following the in-person training program, participants spend ten months implementing their action plans in their communities with the help of alumni mentors. From July 11 to July 19, 2023, New York, New York, and Burlington, Vermont, will serve as the locations for the Young Leaders Fellowship.
