Welfare

Global Impact Fellowship

The BacharLorai (BL) Global Impact Fellowship 2025 is a transformative program designed for youth aged 18-25, aiming to cultivate the next generation of leaders in social impact. Each year, we select 10 promising individuals from any country in the world to join this prestigious cohort.

Focused on the next generation of founders and leaders, this fellowship offers promising and ambitious youth the opportunity to develop social entrepreneurship skills, connect with non-profit sector professionals, and contribute to meaningful social welfare projects in a cross-cultural setting.

By the conclusion of the fellowship, the 10 individuals selected will have gained significant insights, developed a multifaceted set of skills fit for careers in social impact, and made meaningful contributions to the communities in focus. Equipped with experience and an expanded network, they will be well-positioned to influence positive change in their subsequent careers in the public sector.

The fellows will receive a completion certificate to recognize their immense contribution and hard work. They will continue to be valuable members of the BL community and will have the opportunity to continue collaborating with BL by joining their global team, with unique opportunities to represent BL at international conferences once they graduate.
