The World Youth Movement for Democracy and
the International Forum for Democratic Studies at the National Endowment
for Democracy (NED) invite you to apply for the Hurford Youth Fellows
Program in Washington, DC.
Youth leaders from around the world will be considered
for two positions throughout the year. For a period of four
months, each fellow will have the opportunity to build his or her leadership
and organizational skills and benefit from and contribute to the development of
the World Youth Movement.
Central to each fellowship will be an
assignment to develop online discussion platforms that would generate active
engagement of World Youth Movement members. Each fellow will organize and
lead a series of online discussions and information sharing on a key democracy
issue that the fellow, in consultation with the Secretariat and Leadership
Board, would identify. Youth Movement Fellows will identify, compile, present,
and creatively share discussion materials and results.
Youth leaders up to the age of 30 with
a demonstrated interest in the advancement of democracy are welcome to apply;
particularly those affiliated with democracy/civil society organizations are
especially encouraged. A monthly cost of living stipend and roundtrip airfare
will be provided by the Program.
Application deadline: May 23, 2014
