What is the iLEAP International Fellowship?
The iLEAP International Fellowship (IF) is a long-term investment in
community-based leadership in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Each
year, iLEAP selects up to 15 grass-roots leaders from around the world
from a highly competitive, global pool of applicants to join a unique,
cross-cultural and global leadership training in Seattle.
The IF is highly integrated, with a balance between personal
reflection and retreat, group learning and dialogue, and professional
training in partnership, communication, and effective leadership. iLEAP
Fellows return home to lead their communities with a renewed clarity and
commitment to who they are, what they do, and how they can be better
leaders of change. An important part of the IF is its connection to the
iLEAP Southeast Asia Leadership Initiative.
What is the iLEAP Southeast Asia Leadership Initiative?
The iLEAP Southeast Asia Leadership Initiative (SALI) is an
integrated leadership training and social investment designed to amplify
the leadership capacities of the next generation of social leaders in
Southeast Asia. Over a five year period (2013-17) iLEAP has a goal to
train and partner with over 60 current and emerging social leaders from
Southeast Asia and work with them to co-create a thriving network in the
region. SALI will ensure that young social leaders in Southeast Asia
have the practical skills, critical perspectives, and a global and
regional community of partners in order to sustain and expand their
change initiatives amidst a rapidly changing Southeast Asia region.
SALI participants join either a two-week or eight-week training in
Seattle. The two-week training is held in April and is just for leaders
from the Southeast Asia region. The eight-week training is held from
October-December and includes leaders from around the world. This
eight-week training is called the iLEAP International Fellowship.
