The GLC Professional Fellows Program, a program of Northwest Ohio-based nonprofit Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP), is currently recruiting U.S. Mentors for their European Fellows from Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia. U.S. Mentors and their host organizations would host two European Fellows for a four-week mid-career internship from approximately September 8th to October 6th, 2023. The program theme is “Empowering Citizen-Led Democracy” and the Fall 2023 European Fellows include mid-career professionals who focus on gender equity, youth empowerment, minority and rural education, enviornmental justice, disability issues, immigrant and refugee rights, and LGBTQ+ youth organizing.
U.S. Mentors would be expected to develop a professional agenda in community organizing and civil society development, and recruit volunteer U.S. host families for the European Fellows during their four-week stay. In return, U.S. Mentors get an opportunity for a reciprocal 2-weeks expenses-paid visit to their fellows’ home countries to provide trainings and support local community organizing efforts.
The deadline to apply is Thursday, June 15, 2023. More information on the GLC Professional Fellows Program and the U.S. Mentor opportunity can be found at glc-teachdemocracy2.org.
