Global Health Corps places talented individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds in high impact roles in NGOs and government agencies in sub-Saharan Africa and the US in a 1-year, paid fellowship.
Through intensive training, professional development, mentorship, and thoughtful community building, we ensure that fellows are equipped to be global health changemakers.
Fellows work in teams of two – an international fellow paired with a local fellow– creating a partnership that is central to Global Health Corps’ work building a community of leaders that reach across sectors, disciplines, and borders to effect change. From project management to monitoring and evaluation, engineering, communications, and architecture, our fellows bring diverse skillsets and experiences to the movement for health equity
All Global Health Corps fellows are motivated, intelligent, and believe health is a human right. They come from diverse backgrounds, and vary in educational experience, professional expertise, and personal story. Whether they have a background in management, education, research, technology or another field, each fellow brings a unique perspective to their Placement Organization and the GHC community. Fellows have meaningful impact on their Placement Organization during the fellowship year, while developing leadership skills and relationships within a supportive community that will prepare them for deepened impact on global health over the course of their careers.
