The Hurford Youth Fellowship Programme, has opened an entry for the 2023 fellowship where it seeks to build leadership skills and harness the potential of young democracy activists from around the world.
According to YouthHub Africa, the organisers said through the programme whose entry closes 31st July 2022, young activists spend three months at the World Movement’s Secretariat, during which they expand their global connections, share experiences with other activists from democracy movements around the world, and contribute to the development of the World Movement for Democracy.
Upon the successful completion of each fellowship, the fellows serve as a regional/country focal point, working with the Hurford Youth Fellowship Alumni Network to remain involved and take the lead in youth-related activities.
Each fellow will receive a monthly stipend for living expenses, plus basic health insurance and roundtrip travel to and from Washington, D.C., United States of America.
Applicants must be no older than 30 years and must demonstrate strong interest in democratic activism and in the advancement of democracy in their respective communities, as well as worldwide while youth affiliated with civil society organizations are encouraged to apply through https://www.movedemocracy.org/.
