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
