The World Youth Movement for Democracy and the International Forum for Democratic Studies at the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)
invite you to apply for the Hurford Youth Fellows Program in
Washington, DC. Youth leaders from around the world will be considered
for two positions throughout the year. For a period of four months,
each fellow will have the opportunity to build his or her leadership
and organizational skills and benefit from and contribute to the
development of the World Youth Movement.
Central to each fellowship will be an assignment to develop online
discussion platforms that would generate active engagement of World
Youth Movement members. Each fellow will organize and lead a series
of online discussions and information sharing on a key democracy issue
that the fellow, in consultation with the Secretariat and Leadership Board,
would identify. Youth Movement Fellows will identify, compile,
present, and creatively share discussion materials and results.
Youth leaders up to the age of 30 with a
demonstrated interest in the advancement of democracy are welcome to
apply; particularly those affiliated with democracy/civil society
organizations are especially encouraged. A monthly cost of living
stipend and roundtrip airfare will be provided by the Program.
Application deadline: May 23, 2014
The Hurford Youth Fellows Program is made possible by the generous support of the Hurford Foundation.
