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 sectors and backgrounds to work in leading
health-focused organizations in year-long, paid fellowship positions. The
fellowship begins in July 2015 and extends through August 2016.Positions are
available in nonprofit, government a

nd private sector organizations in Burundi,
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. – DezioMacheso,
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, 2012-2013fellows
