Young Social Entrepreneurs Invited to Apply for 2010 YouthActionNet Global Fellowships
Deadline: April 9, 2010

Each year, YouthActionNet selects twenty young social entrepreneurs to participate in its Global Fellowship Program. Participants are chosen for the program based on their records of success in achieving positive change in their communities, their innovative approaches, and their ability to mobilize their peers and community members in support of their social change efforts.

The year-long fellowship program includes a seven-day leadership retreat, year-long skills-building programs and resources in leadership and organization management, and networking opportunities.

The program is open to all young people between the ages of 18 and 29 (as of September 1, 2010). Applicants must be the founder or co-founder of an existing organization, or a project within an organization, with a demonstrated one-year track record of leading societal change. Proficiency in English is required; applications must be submitted in English.

Applicants must be available to attend the program’s full retreat, October 1-8, 2010, in Washington, D.C. (all expenses paid).
