Through this experience of teaching in classrooms and working with key education stakeholders like students, principals, and parents, our Fellows get exposed to the grassroot realities of India’s education system and begin to cultivate the knowledge, skills, and mindsets necessary to attain positions of leadership in education and identify their role in building a wider movement for educational equity in the country.
Who We Are Looking For:
** We believe that our Fellows are going to be leaders of the movement towards educational equity. Aside from passion and commitment to the vision of educational equity, we look for leadership potential that can develop through the two year Fellowship.
** Our Fellows are critical thinkers and problem solvers. They have grit, courage and set high expectations for themselves and for others. They demonstrate interpersonal skills through their interactions with various stakeholders.
** We look for diversity in our Fellowship cohort, and our Fellows come from across the country, with varied levels of professional experience – college students, working youth, experienced professionals, and entrepreneurs.
** They come from over 300 college campuses and companies, from urban and rural India, and from outside of India. If you are interested in joining the Fellowship, apply now.
