  •  Course, Fellowship
  •  21-May-2021
  •   Nigeria, South Africa
  • $$  Full Sponsorship (R120,000/3,055,563 Naira)

Through the program, 15 young people will each engage in a paid, year-long fellowship aligned to one of Global Citizen’s four pillars of activity: creative, campaigns, rewards, and marketing.

We will be selecting 10 South African Fellows, and five Nigerian Fellows in 2021.

This dynamic program will take Fellows through a multi-phase curriculum, specifically designed to equip them with the skills and tools they need to thrive – not just during their time with Global Citizen but also in any future professional environment.

Throughout the program, Fellows will be immersed in the use of digital technology for social change, storytelling tactics that shift attitudes, the importance of building lasting professional relationships, and the role of innovation in a constantly changing world.
