MCW Global young leaders fellowship opens applications

Applications are now open for the 2027 MCW Global Young Leaders Fellowship, a fully funded year‑long programme. The fellowship accepts candidates aged 18 to 26 from any country who are running a community project in education, health or economic security.

The programme starts with a one‑month community needs assessment, then a ten‑day intensive in‑person training. After the training, fellows return home for ten months to develop their action plans with virtual support from alumni mentors. Mentors host quarterly online hangouts and give ongoing guidance.

Fellows receive tools for community mapping, leadership development, global citizenship training and mentorship throughout the year. The official webpage provides the application form and further details.
