Organization: Melton Foundation
Apply By: 10 Feb 2023
About the Organization
The Melton Foundation promotes and enables global citizenship as a way for individuals and organizations to work together across boundaries of place and identity to address global challenges.
The Melton Foundation is an international 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in the USA, and a leading proponent of global citizenship practice worldwide. Established nearly thirty years ago with the credence that collaborations across boundaries can forge sustainable solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, today, our presence spans six global citizenship hubs in Chile, China, Germany, Ghana, India, and the United States of America.
We make global citizenship accessible at the grassroots by offering Fellowships to young change agents in order to develop their capacity as effective and ethical leaders, equipped to act locally, with a global context in mind. Our programs harness unique pedagogies ranging from experiential learning, intercultural collaboration, ethical leadership, and design thinking, to train and hone the skills of emerging social impact leaders.
With global citizenship practice and education as our guiding principle, our programs and activities are also closely correlated to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and focus on grassroots action and intercultural collaboration to tackle problems of the modern world.
About the Fellowship
Our Fellowship programs, namely the Global Citizenship Learning Program and Global Citizenship Leadership Program, bring together young and passionate changemakers from around the world to mold them into global citizens capable of spearheading action in their communities.
The Global Citizenship Learning Program is a 1.5-2 years experiential learning program, which equips fresh minds with the necessary skills and tools to work together on shared solutions to address challenges posed by an interconnected world. The Global Solvers Accelerator is a 7-8 months Leadership Program that is tailored towards more experienced SDG practitioners. It’s grounded in peer learning and mentoring to catalyze novel ideas, build capacity, and encompass projects for transformative impact. Furthermore, our Community of Practice comprises Melton Fellows who have graduated from one or more of our programs, and are now leaders, driving impact in their spheres of influence, and supporting younger generations of Melton Fellows.
Alongside the Fellowship programs, the Melton Foundation also promotes the advancement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals by working with global citizens and changemakers in different parts of the world via six Global Citizenship Hubs, routinely organizing engagement opportunities online and offline, thereby multiplying tactical reach to motivated individuals. To ensure our Fellows have the financial resources, mentorship, and means to execute their social innovation projects, we also regularly offer Impact Grants to support and aid their ventures.
As a Melton Fellow and participant in Global Citizenship Learning Program, you will:
- Experience different cultures first-hand and learn to work across boundaries of place and identity.
- Expand your knowledge about relevant global topics related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Boost your skills through hands-on workshops, training, and mentoring projects.
- Co-create and develop impact projects with Fellows and partners in your community and around the world to drive change initiatives – small and big – for wider impact.
- Join a network of 500+ Fellows and partner organizations from across sectors and world regions.
- Become part of an experiential learning lab that equips you with the know-how and confidence to take action on pressing issues around you.
The Global Citizenship Learning Program starts while you are in university. Through online learning, global teamwork, and collaborative projects you will exercise your global citizenship muscle.
Our 1.5-year Global Citizenship Learning Program, supported by our global network of mentors and partner organizations, will aid you to acquire skills in areas such as intercultural communications, teamwork, design thinking, project management, storytelling, ethical leadership, and systems thinking.
As you work together with others in pursuit of collaborative solutions to challenges of today’s interconnected world, Project Teams, Acts of Global Citizenship, and global workshops and conferences will be your fueling stations. After successfully graduating from the program, you will join our lifelong Senior Fellow network of global industry professionals.
