- Fellows must abide by host organization work calendars, which commonly involves working Saturdays. Fellows are also required to attend all program events, including Orientation, Midpoint and Endpoint conferences.
- Fellows must submit monthly progress reports on the status of their Fellowship and specific projects, and more detailed reports at midpoint and endpoint, including end of service documents to detail their projects and experience of the program upon completion of the Fellowship. Each Fellow is required to blog monthly following an annual workplan with specific deliverables and milestones.
- The Fellowship pairs a select number of highly skilled young professionals with leading NGOs and social enterprises in India in order to accelerate impact and create effective projects that are replicable, scalable, and sustainable.
- Through ten months of service and fieldwork, Fellows gain knowledge of development on the ground in the fields of education, livelihoods, public health, and social enterprise, honing and harnessing their growing skills as change agents capable of effecting lasting change. Together, Fellows and development sector leaders form dynamic partnerships to exchange knowledge and skills while sharing their passion and commitment to open new ways of looking at the world – ultimately transforming both the individual and organization.
