MCW Global Young Leaders Fellowship Program 2022

0 Shares

The MCW Global Young Leaders Fellowship Program 2022 is currently accepting applications.

The Fellowship Program’s goal is to empower young people by providing them with the knowledge and tools they need to develop and execute vision plans in the areas of education, health, and economic stability.

The Community Needs Assessment is a one-month community needs assessment that trains young people between the ages of 18 and 26 from across the globe to better understand their local communities as part of MCW Global’s Young Leaders Fellowship.

Young Leaders engage in a one-month intensive Virtual Program after the community needs assessment to help them become leaders of good change in their communities.

Participants spend ten months after Virtual Learning completing their action plans with the help of alumni mentors.

Community Needs Assessment: The Young Leaders Fellowship starts with an intense community mapping project and community needs assessment, during which Young Leaders will be given the skills and information they need to examine their own community.

This phase is done before beginning Virtual Learning since it will provide the young leaders a better grasp of their community’s requirements.

Participants come to the Young Leaders Fellowship: with a concept for a community problem they wish to solve, they developed virtual learning. The process of translating enthusiasm into a specific, actionable strategy for change is known as vision planning.

Participants will be able to place their local challenges into a bigger global perspective and learn why they are in a unique position to make a difference in their community via online sessions with speakers, discussions, e-modules, and assignments.

Participants will also figure out which tools and skills may be used to create a workable strategy.

Alumni Mentorship & Ongoing Support: To help Young Leaders build and implement their actionable plans, they are matched with alumni mentors who will assist them through the Virtual Program. Alumni mentors assist participants throughout the year by hosting quarterly “hangouts” and continued remote contact.

Prior to the commencement of the program, alumni mentors get personalized training to foster team building and cultural competence among the varied group of Young Leaders.
