The U.S. ExchangeAlumni Fellowship is a new professional development and networking program for U.S. citizen alumni of U.S. government exchange programs (U.S. ExchangeAlumni). The nine-month Fellowship, to begin in January 2025, will engage U.S. ExchangeAlumni as regional advocates for international exchange programs and strengthen alumni networks throughout the United States.
The Fellowship will equip six U.S. ExchangeAlumni to organize, network with, and manage outreach to local alumni in their assigned regions. Each Fellow will cover a specific region of the United States, with one Fellow to be based in Washington, DC at the Global Ties U.S. office.
Fellows will be tasked with building regional alumni networks across U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs (e.g. Peace Corps, Critical Language Scholarship, Fulbright, and other U.S. ExchangeAlumni groups), and engaging with them regularly through in-person and / or virtual programming. The Fellows also will lead outreach to inspire local audiences to become future exchange participants, as well as to support U.S. ExchangeAlumni events in their region.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
