Welfare
Global Impact Fellowship
The BacharLorai Global Impact Fellowship is a transformative 8-month program that develops the next generation of social impact leaders (ages 18-25). Each year, ten selected fellows will gain a comprehensive understanding of social welfare through hands-on project management, communications, fundraising, and advocacy training.
Guided by international experts, fellows will participate in professional development workshops and networking events. The program culminates in a UN SDG-aligned capstone, the Global Impact Project, which challenges fellows to design and deliver a real-world social welfare initiative, providing them with transferable skills for careers in non-profit, development and social impact sectors.
