Apply NOW for the Global Fellows Program! (Deadline: 16
Nov 2012)
The Global Fellows Program is a one-year fellowship program designed to train the next generation of social impact leaders. Fellows
undergo two months of leadership training in New York and then spend nine months with one of Acumen Fund’s investee companies in
India, Pakistan, East or West Africa providing on the ground management assistance and strategic support to help scale the business.
The Global Fellows Program is distinct from the East Africa and Pakistan Fellows Programs in that the Global Fellows Program is a
full-time rather than part-time program, accepts candidates from any country, and does not require Fellows to be driving a social
change initiative prior to joining the program.
Competitive applicants for the Global Fellows Program will meet the following criteria:
+ Strong business experience – such as finance, operations, or consulting
+ Demonstrated passion and commitment to creating positive social change
+ Proven track record of leadership and management responsibilities
+ Experience living and working in emerging markets
+ Unrelenting perseverance, moral fiber, and critical thinking skills
+ 3-5 years of work experience
Apply now or invite a friend to join the next class of Global Fellows, which begins in September 2013. Also, please share this announcement with your followers on Twitter or your friends on Facebook!
