Job Title: 50 Graduate Fellows – Building Tomorrow Fellowship Program
Program: Building Tomorrow Fellowship Program
Job Summary
Building Tomorrow Fellowship Program: We are now accepting applications for the Building Tomorrow Fellowship Program’s Fifth Class. We are looking for 50 exuberant recent university graduates to take on the challenge of creatively improving Uganda’s public primary education during a 2-year fellowship.
About us:
In 2015, Building Tomorrow launched the Fellows Program. Through this program, Fellows focused on building the capacity of school leadership, introducing teachers to child-centered pedagogy, and galvanizing community support to create thriving schools.
After significant growth and refining, the Building Tomorrow Fellows Program has developed into the Thriving Schools Program, which builds on the success of Fellows by leveraging their most critical allies—Community Education Volunteers (CEVs)—and further involving them in elevating the provision of quality education. Throughout their two-year term, Fellows support four rural schools and their communities, forming teams of CEVs who serve as champions of education long after Fellows’ placement ends.
Currently, there are 80 Building Tomorrow Fellows in the field, working with teams of CEVs to support 320 schools.
