WELL PAID JOBS FOR
YOUTH: GHC FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
WHAT IS THE
GLOBAL HEALTH CORPS FELLOWSHIP?
Global Health Corps is a community of emerging leaders who believe that great
ideas don’t change the world, great PEOPLE do! We provide opportunities for
talented young professionals from diverse s
ectors and backgrounds to work in
leading health-focused organizations in year-long, paid fellowship positions.
The fellowship begins in July 2016 and extends through August 2017. Positions
are available in nonprofit, government and private sector organizations in,
Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, and the US (Boston, DC, Newark, New York).
Fellows engage in training, professional development and thoughtful
community-building, and continue to draw upon their fellowship experience and
the GHC alumni network as they build careers of lasting impact.
Applicants apply to a specific position within a specific organization and in a
specific country, just like applying for a job. Fellows are selected based on
their ability to fit that job description, and their fit with the GHC
leadership practices. To learn more about the GHC leadership practices, visit: http://ghcorps.org/apply/
Fellows are placed in organizations in pairs – one international fellow and one
local fellow from the placement country – creating a fellowship team that is a
central part of the fellowship experience.

WHAT HAVE
FELLOWS SAID ABOUT THEIR GHC EXPERIENCE?
For me, GHC represents the birth of a global health career. It’s such a unique
fellowship because of how intentional and organized they are in matching the
needs of global health organizations with the skills and passions of their
fellows. I was looking for an opportunity to apply my work experience and
education in an organization whose mission and vision aligned with my own. GHC
provided that opportunity and so much more. – Bryan, 2011-2012 fellow
The GHC Fellowship was an awesome transformative experience and an enormous
determinant in both the direction and quality of my career. – Dezio
Macheso, 2011-2012 fellow
Global Health Corps allowed us, two people from different backgrounds and
opposite sides of the world, to put our minds together to think about global
health issues in a new way. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to
be inspired by this diverse community, to use our professional skills in ways
that we never thought we could, and to have been provided with a doorway to the
health equity movement. – Serena and Jonathan, 2012-2013 fellows
