If you are passionate about youth-led change, love mobilizing and empowering others to act, and want to be part of a global team that helps young people make a difference right now, we invite you to apply to the Fellowship-in-Residence – a year-long, paid program for emerging social change leaders who want to make an impact by leading Peace First’s support to young people in their part of the world. 

Requirements

 You meet the following eligibility criteria: 

● Under 26 years old on August 1, 2020 

● Based in Sub-Saharan Africa/Middle East & North Africa 

● Fluent in English, preferably fluent or proficient in other languages spoken in the region as well. Fluency in French, Arabic, or Spanish highly desirable. 

● Have reliable access to fast, stable internet (assuming the cost of internet access is covered)

● Able to commit to at least one year as a Fellow-in-Residence, beginning August 2020 

Benefits 

Fellows-in-Residence will be selected for one-year, renewable terms. 

Each Peace First Fellow-in-Residence will receive a fellowship stipend that varies based location. 

The stipend takes into consideration the cost of living, comparable fellowship stipends, local compensation for full-time employees, local taxes, and local purchasing power. 

To ensure pay equity among our fellows, we run an annual stipend audit and use the learnings from the audit to inform our fellowship stipend band for the following year.

 In addition to intensive training and network building, Peace First will offer Fellows dedicated professional development support, including mentorship and a $1,000 USD fund for professional development expenses. 

Peace First will also provide an additional $80USD/month stipend for tech and internet expenses. Fellows may elect to use their own laptop or a Peace First-provided one. Peace First will also cover all of the Fellows’ travel expenses.
