Fellows are formally affiliated with Refugees International and collaborate closely with our staff on various advocacy initiatives, including reports, opinion pieces, events, research trips, and direct engagement with policymakers. Additionally, fellows participate in peer-to-peer learning and formal and informal training sessions with advocacy and communications professionals.
Eligibility:
The program is open to individuals with personal experience of forced displacement and a demonstrated commitment to advocacy for the rights and safety of displaced people.
Grant:
Fellows will receive a $15,000 grant in four quarterly installments throughout the year, for working up to 5 hours per week.
Key Components of the Fellowship:
Technical Training: Enhancing skills such as public speaking, advocacy planning, fundraising, or other themes tailored to meet the needs of the fellows.
Professional Networking: Connecting fellows with a wide network of influential figures in the humanitarian field, fostering professional relationships and collaborative opportunities.
Funding Opportunities: Supporting fellows in effective fundraising training and networking.
Collaborative Advocacy Events and Trips: Offering opportunities for partnership with Refugees International on key advocacy issues through collaborative events and research trips.
How to Apply:
To apply, applicants must complete an application form, submit a personal statement, and provide a concise work plan for the fellowship year.
