Deadline: 3 April 2015
The America Solidaria is seeking
applications for its international fellowship opportunity. The
fellowship is a one-year service program. After completing a year of
service, professional fellows
return to their home country as global citizens, with an unbeatable
cross-cultural understanding and leadership and technical skills that
set them up for future professional opportunities.
The fellowship program includes an out-of country orientation that provides workshops to facilitate cross-cultural, technical, health,
and safety skills. With the belief that international communities are
pioneers in personal and cultural transformations, our professional
fellows live alongside other fellows from participating countries in the
communities they serve. These communities can range from small rural
villages to large urban centers.
Since its launch in 2002, America
Solidaria has sent over 460 professionals fellows from different parts
of the Americas to volunteer in a wide range of projects at various host
organizations.
Professional Fellows participate in
rigorous community-run cross-cultural and technical projects that
emphasize organizing grassroots organizations, community engagement and
leadership development. Professional fellows become a part of an ongoing
collaborative effort, working through a cycle of projects that
addresses issues such as education, health, or economic development in disadvantaged communities and builds sustainable tools to decrease inequality and poverty.
