Prospective Host Organizations
The Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows Program is constantly seeking
out interesting and challenging work with various agencies and organizations
working in the international relief and development realm where Fellows could
be potentially placed. Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows come with
substantial experience and training within the international development field
and can provide a significant contribution to an organization’s ongoing
work.
Placements within host organizations are evaluated on whether the proposed
work would provide a rich and substantive experience for the Fellow and be
within an environment where Fellows can significantly contribute to an
organization’s work while also receiving mentoring and training
assistance. Fellows will be placed with an organization for a period of two
years with one year dedicated to working in the field followed by a second year
in the organization’s headquarters working on policy related issues. The
experience and learning in the field is meant to inform and augment the second
year policy work. Host organizations should also be committed to furthering the
development of the leadership skills and experience of Fellows so that they can
become leaders in the fight against global poverty and hunger.
The Application Process
While we have already selected our host organizations for the 4th class of
Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows (2007-2009), we will begin the
process of choosing host organizations for the 5th class of Fellows (2009-2011)
in the spring of 2008. Please return to our website in early 2008 for further
updates.
