This program offers a comprehensive curriculum, mentorship, travel experiences and networking opportunities. The goal is to mold impactful social entrepreneurs who will go on to create lasting change in their communities.
As far as being designated as a PAID FELLOWSHIP:
The Fellowship, is valued at $15,000, and is fully funded, meaning individuals chosen to participate in it do not have to put out any money at all. The 2 domestic travel experiences, the access to mentors and experts, the curriculum, and other components of the program are fully paid for due in part to the generosity of donors. In addition, each Fellow will receive a $1000 unrestricted stipend and $350 towards business expenses.
