Be an agent of change, make an impact in Africa
The "Junior Fellowship Program" represents an opportunity for Concordia students to be agents for change on the international development stage by having a real impact in Africa.
This program from Engineers Without Borders (EWB) is an opportunity for high performing and motivated individuals who are striving to bring about tangible change both overseas and in Canada.
The Junior Fellowship is a four month long overseas volunteer placement, plus an in-Canada chapter development.
This program is open to members who will be returning to their chapter for at least one year following their summer abroad.
The program is open to all faculties and departments at Concordia.
While the four month placement overseas is the highlight for many, the program also includes the completion of learning modules prior to going overseas as well as a a week-long pre-departure training.
The Junior Fellows also commit to sharing their experiences and lessons learned with their community and chapter upon their return. All Junior Fellows will be placed in Sub-Saharan Africa for the four-month overseas portion of their Fellowship. The vast majority of assignments for English speaking Junior Fellows will be with our established partners in Ghana, Malawi and Zambia.
To apply to this program, please email concordia@ewb.ca to receive your application and bursary request, which, if granted, will enable you to receive a sum of $2,000 to $3,000 should you require financial assistance.
The deadline to submit applications is on Friday October 22, 2010.
