Call for Applications: Hurford Youth
Fellows Program
Building Young Activists’ Leadership
Skills
The World Youth Movement
for Democracy and the International Forum for Democratic Studies at the
National Endowment for Democracy (NED) invite you to apply for the
Hurford Youth Fellows Program in Washington, DC. Youth leaders from around the
world will be considered for two positions throughout the year.
For a period of four months, each fellow will have the opportunity
to build his or her leadership and organizational skills and benefit from and
contribute to the development of the World Youth Movement.
Central to each fellowship will be an
assignment to develop online discussion platforms that would generate active
engagement of World Youth Movement members. Each fellow will organize and
lead a series of online discussions and information sharing on a key democracy
issue that the fellow, in consultation with the Secretariat and Leadership Board, would identify. Youth Movement
Fellows will identify, compile, present, and creatively share discussion
materials and results.
Youth leaders up to the age
of 30 with a demonstrated interest in the advancement of democracy are
welcome to apply; particularly those affiliated with democracy/civil society
organizations are especially encouraged. A monthly cost of living stipend and
roundtrip airfare will be provided by the Program.
Application deadline: April 27,
2015
The Hurford Youth Fellows Program is
made possible by the generous support of the Hurford Foundation.
