Join For A Year-Long, Full-Time, Paid Placement
Global Citizen, an international advocacy organisation has announced Its fourth Global Citizen Fellowship Program powered by BeyGOOD. For the first time, the organisation will be expanding into Kenya.
Application is now open until 29th of April 2022, for fifteen young people including five from Nigeria, five from Kenya, and five from South Africa. Changemakers must be between the ages of 21 and 25, to join the coveted paid fellowship program commencing in July 2022.
Through the program, the 15 changemakers will each engage in a paid, year-long, full-time placement aligned to one of Global Citizen’s four pillars of activity: creative, campaigns, rewards, and marketing. Powered by BeyGOOD, the Global Citizen Fellowship Program will unearth African youth with remarkable potential.
The Global Citizen Fellowship, supported by Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD philanthropic initiative and US actor and filmmaker, Tyler Perry, aims to empower young Africans to become agents of change and provide them with tools they need to thrive – not just during their time with Global Citizen but also in any future professional environment.
Launched in 2019, following the success of commitments made at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 in December 2018, the Fellowship is focused on global Citizen’s vision of eliminating extreme poverty, providing young people with opportunities to gain experience working on social impact projects.
During the course of the year, the fellows learn how to use digital technology for social change, storytelling tactics that shift attitudes, and the process of building lasting professional relationships. The program also aims to foster an in-depth understanding of the role that innovation plays in an ever-changing digital world.
Global Citizen and BeyGOOD strongly encourage applicants from minorities and underrepresented communities to apply.
