Program Overview
We welcome and encourage highly accomplished graduate students who are supported by funding through an academic institution, foundation, corporation or other agency to apply for Visiting Fellowships with CARE. CARE’s Visiting Fellows Program offers a small number of graduate students (approximately 20 per year) and practitioners with support from outside sources the opportunity to work with projects and conduct research in various CARE Country Offices. The fellowship assignments developed by host offices may include working for program areas such as Emergency Management, HIV/AIDS, Economic Development, support to External Relations and other program areas critical to CARE. Fellowships also address organizational needs such as leading organizational development processes or global initiatives such as partnership or change management strategies. Visiting Fellowship assignments generally range in duration from a period of three months to nine months.
