Use your skills to fight poverty
Are you looking for an opportunity to make an even more direct impact on those living in poverty? Want to apply your expertise in green business? Want to know how to prevent world hunger, and do something about it?
The TechnoServe Fellows Program is a highly competitive fellowship where business professionals have the unique opportunity to contribute their skills to help change lives. They experience the field of international development firsthand while building new skills and challenging themselves in a cross-cultural and entrepreneurial environment.
Since 1996, TechnoServe has engaged over 1,200 Fellows on three- to twelve-month projects throughout Africa, India, and Latin America and the Caribbean. When it’s over, you won’t just have new skills and amazing memories, you’ll have a global alumni community representing top-tier consulting, industry, nonprofit organizations, and graduate schools.
The fellowship does not offer a salary, but TechnoServe will typically cover costs to travel to and live in-country for the duration of their projects. These costs may include international airfare, in-country accommodation and transportation, per diem expenses, visas, and other travel-related costs.
