Application Deadline: August 11th 2019
The Acumen Fellowship program is building a pipeline of leaders who understand what it takes to create lasting social change.
The
Acumen Fellowship program is an intensive leadership development fund
program cultivating a pipeline of tomorrow’s social change makers.
Currently
operating in Malaysia, Bangladesh, Colombia, East Africa, India, and
West Africa, the Fellows Program equips leaders from across the country
or region with the knowledge, skills and community to become more
effective, collaborative agents of change.
Acumen
funds all program-related expenses during the fellowship year. This
includes all costs associated with the seminars including lodging, food,
transportation and visas.
Qualifications
The Fellows are individuals who dare to do what’s right, not what’s easy, to create positive change in their region.
Fellows
can come from diverse cultural, geographic and socioeconomic
backgrounds and work in any sector, and they must be committed to ending
poverty and injustice in their community through their work. They are
individuals who are making a long-term play at system-level impact and
are seeking the leadership skills and moral imagination to make it
happen.
Requirements:
Typically
in one of the following trajectories: entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and
organizational builders whether for-profit, nonprofit, or in
government. We define that as…
entrepreneurs:
founding or leading a for-profit or nonprofit organization that
provides critical goods or services to the undeserved
Organizational builders:
supporting the growth of an organization, institution, or company
focused on alleviating poverty or injustice but not as the founder of
CEO
Intrapreneurs: creating
innovative solutions to tackle poverty or injustice from within an
existing institution by shifting its culture and building new
collaborations
