About
The Global Community Fellowship is a 13-15 month program for starting and established professionals. Fellows work at NGOs, social enterprises, and educational organizations across Asia to support community development, capacity-building, and education. VIA's approach to service and collaboration is focused on community-driven impact, building peer connections, and the values of humility and respect. The fellowship is generously funded by alumni, partners, and grants.
Highlights
- Education — Fellows advance student development in critical thinking and cross-cultural communication.
- Training & Capacity-building — Fellows develop training resources and curricula for partners to enhance their organizational operations and optimize for impact.
- Community Development — Fellows support community development and international communication efforts by facilitating access resources, networks, and collaboration opportunities.
- Professional Network — Fellows join a cohort of peers who inspire and support each other, and become members of a 57-year strong community of VIA alumni around the world.
Fellows must have at least a 4-year undergraduate (bachelor's) degree by the time they start their fellowship, so typically that means the minimum age is 21. There is no maximum age limit.
