Global Health Corps pairs intelligent and
passionate fellows with organizations that require new thinking and innovative
solutions. We provide these young leaders with the tools to remain connected
after their fellowship year finishes, deepening their ability to enact change
through heightened skills and strong partnerships. We currently place fellows
in Burundi, Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, the United States, and Zambia.
GHC is looking for driven, passionate, young
leaders with diverse skill sets and experiences to join the movement for health
equity. One-year paid fellowship positions are available with high impact NGOs
and government organizations in East Africa, Southern Africa and the US.
Applicants can apply for up to 3 positions that match their interests and
skills, from project management to monitoring and evaluation, engineering,
communications and more. We are looking for people from a broad range of
sectors and disciplines.

GHC believes that a global movement of individuals
and organizations fighting for improved health outcomes and access to
healthcare for the poor is necessary in order to change the unacceptable status
quo of extreme inequity. GHC provides opportunities for young professionals
from diverse backgrounds to work on the frontlines of the fight for global
health equity. Our fellows have a measurable impact on the health of the
communities in which they work, and draw upon that experience and the GHC
alumni network to deepen their impact throughout their careers.

- Increasing the impact of great organizations
today: Fellows work with high-impact organizations in year-long paid
positions. During their fellowship year, fellows make a significant and
measurable contribution to the placement organization and the target
population. - Training and supporting the leaders of
tomorrow: Global Health Corps will create a pipeline of young leaders for
the global health equity movement. Fellows participate in a wide range of
activities aimed at increasing their effectiveness as practitioners and their
development as leaders, both during and after their fellowship year.
-Building a global community of changemakers: Fellows build a set of
shared values, commitment and skills that they carry well beyond the
fellowship year. The GHC community serves as a source of opportunity and
strength throughout fellows’ lives and careers.
