Fellowship Programs 2020-2021, Global Health Corps

Publish Date: Dec 15, 2019

Deadline: Jan 15, 2020

Fellowship Programs

Inspired by UNAIDS Executive Director Dr. Peter Piot’s clarion call to be relentless in the fight for health equity, Barbara and Jenna Bush, Andrew Bentley, Charlie Hale, Dave Ryan, and Jonny Dorsey launch Global Health Corps with a mission to develop a generation of leaders committed to realizing health as a human right. They recruit 22 bold fellows to join our first cohort working in East and Southern Africa and the U.S.

Welcome to your leadership journey.

A GHC fellowship is an exciting opportunity to build skills and gain experience with a high-impact health organization, but it’s also much more than that. It’s a year that will catalyze your personal and professional growth as a leader, placing you within a global and diverse network of bright, young, and committed health equity champions. It is – we hope – the beginning of the rest of your career working to transform health systems to deliver for all.

Training

The fellowship starts with one week of inspiring sessions with thought leaders, bonding with your cohort, and reflections on your role as a next gen global health leader. Trainings, coaching, and mentorship continue year-round!

Learn as you Go

You will adapt and innovate as you learn the needs of your placement organization, and work to add value and advance health equity. There will be highs and lows, and new learnings every day.

Build your resilience.

Transforming health systems is complex, difficult, and long-term work and you have to bring your whole self. So cultivating resilience, self-care, and empathy as an emerging leader is a core component of our curriculum.

Global community of support.

GHC fellows and alumni span borders and boundaries of all kinds, but form a tight knit network united in the belief that health is a human right. Fellows are placed in pairs so there is always someone to turn to.

Global Health Corps is building the next generation of diverse health leaders. We offer a range of paid fellowship roles with health organizations in Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia and the opportunity to develop as a transformative leader in the health equity movement. Everyone has a role to play in the health equity movement!

  • Be 30 years or younger.
