Peace Fellows may also help their hosts to produce material for an advocacy quilt.
In addition to supporting these programs, Fellows will train their hosts in one or more of our 5x10 services, and produce blogs, video, and photos on their fellowship. Fellows will be asked to produce two evaluations, after training and at the end of the fellowship.
All positions, except for Mali, are short-term (10-12 weeks, June - August) and come with a $1000 stipend. We will do our best to help identify additional funds, if needed, and provide free comprehensive medical insurance. Successful applicants will attend a week of skills-training from experts in Washington May 26-30 (free accommodation). All applicants will be asked for a $25 application fee, to cover our servicing costs.
