USA: Ford Motor Company International Fellowship 2011

Overview

The 2011 Ford Motor Company International Fellowship of the 92nd Street Y is now accepting applications from community leaders who are citizens and residents of Brazil, India, Indonesia, Israel, Turkey, Ukraine and Venezuela.

A successful applicant must demonstrate that he or she:
• is a community leader engaged in the nonprofit sector, either professionally or as a volunteer;
• is successfully addressing issues that affect the community’s well-being; and
• would benefit from an intensive three-week nonprofit management training course in New York.

Previous Ford Fellows include:

• a South African AIDS educator;
• the president of a Jewish aid society facilitating Bosnia-Herzegovina’s transition to democracy;
• a sustainable development expert from Zimbabwe;
• the founder of an Indian organization that educates women and children working in the silk industry; and
• an Indonesian advocate for ethnic minorities.

The residency takes place Thu, Jun 2 to Wed, Jun 22, 2011 in New York City. Airfare, accommodation, food, transportation, instruction and other program-related expenses are included in the fellowship and participants receive a small stipend upon arrival.

During the intensive three-week residency, Ford Fellows take classes in areas including nonprofit management strategy and leadership training at Columbia University’s Picker Center for Executive Education. The academic curriculum is complemented by visits to model nonprofits in New York City and meetings with academic, business and government leaders. The experience is enhanced by Fellows’ residency at the 92nd Street Y, the world’s first global Jewish community and cultural center. Founded in 1874 and considered a New York landmark, the 92nd Street Y annually serves over 300,000 people of all backgrounds, religions, nationalities, ethnicities, races and socio-economic groups.



Eligible Candidates

Applicants must be 21 years of age or older, though younger applicants should note that we are looking for candidates with several years of leadership experience, and most fellows are already mid-career accomplished professionals. We seek candidates from a variety of backgrounds with the aim of creating a diverse group of Fellows who will work well together and offer a wide array of views and experiences. Candidates should be emerging leaders addressing issues whose resolution can have a significant positive impact on their communities, on their countries and—collectively—on the world. Successful participants have a hunger for professional improvement and share a passion to learn from all experiences offered during the fellowship.

Applicants must demonstrate fluency in English, have valid passports, and have access to a computer and the Internet. They may not be current recipients of other fellowships.

Fees and Services Covered

Airfare, accommodation, food, transportation, instruction, and other program-related expenses are included in the fellowship. Each participant receives a stipend upon arrival

The application deadline is June 30, 2010. Please note: we are no longer accepting applications for the 2010 Ford Fellowship.
