Acumen Fund Fellowship
http://acumen.org/leaders/global-fellows/
Established in 2006, the Global Fellows Program is a 12-month fellowship for individuals
dedicated to serving the poor and who have the business and operational expertise, and
moral imagination needed to effect long-term social change. The fellowship begins with an
eight-week training program in the Acumen New York office, where Fellows learn about
business models for the poor, hone their leadership skills, and learn more about Acumen.
After training, each Fellow works for the CEO or senior management of an Acumen investee
on a critical business issue facing the organization. Fellows have worked on projects ranging
from leading operations of a new business unit at a cotton ginnery in Uganda, to expanding
the clinic network of a pharmacy company in India, to developing branding strategies for a
microfinance institution in Pakistan. Open to applicants of any nationality, and we are
prepared to do what is possible and reasonable to address Fellows’ visa and immigration
issues.
