Deadline: 4th June 2021 | Age <26 | If you’re a movement builder who is deeply committed to compassion, courage and collaboration, Peace First has been waiting for you. The Fellow in Residence is a paid, one year fellowship program with Peace First, an unparalleled opportunity to build your skills and networks as an emerging leader — and set you up for a career of lifelong leadership for social change.
Build a diverse skill set: In your day to day work, you’ll hone your skills at program design, facilitation and training, grant making, organizing, storytelling and more. Fellows in Residence will also have opportunities to interact with and learn about the other operational areas of a global nonprofit and regularly meet with and work alongside members of the senior team.
Build a network: As the lead ambassador for Peace First in your region, you’ll work to build visibility and credibility by creating a broad and deep partner network and, in the process, build your own network of peers and mentors.
Access support and coaching: The Senior Program Manager will be a constant source of support and feedback, and Fellows in Residence will have regular touch points with the Director of the Programs, the Founder & CEO and other senior leaders of the Peace First team. Peace First will match each Fellow in Residence with a mentor, who you’ll meet with biweekly to support your personal and professional growth.
Professional development stipend: Peace First will offer a professional development stipend to help you access opportunities from conferences to continuing education.
Community of practice: The fellowship is organised as a community of practice – meaning that your fellow Fellows in Residence are a source of learning and support. Through in person retreats and constant virtual communication, Fellows in Residence will build a tight-knit community, offering a space for you to work through challenges, share joys, process frustrations, brainstorm new ideas, learn new things and feel supported, valued and championed.
