| Career Opportunities - Fellowships |
|
Often funded by foundations or private donors, fellowships are designed to provide incentives and support to the new generation of nonprofit leaders.
These fellowships are formal programs lasting anywhere from three months to two years. They often include:
- stipends
- challenging work experience
- well-structured plans for training and professional development
- access to seasoned professionals as mentors
In addition to well-established programs, often at universities or privately funded nonprofits like Greenpeace set up fellowships to attract emerging leaders, so opportunities are expanding.
There are many fellowships available in the public policy, arts, in education, and in other areas of the nonprofit community. For opportunities in 2012, visit the following Idealist link:
