The Notse Fellows Program
The Notse Fellows program gives rising leaders from the GaDangme states around the world who are academically inclined and engaging with their communities an opportunity take their work to the next level through an immersive curriculum that brings together academic, skills-based, and hands-on learning. Students get exposure to leaders across the country and the world, and are guided towards success.
The program builds lasting relationships among emerging leaders who are committed to working together to solve the most pressing challenges of our time, thereby creating a global network that reaches across issues and borders.
The Notse Fellows Program offers a robust curriculum of leadership development, training, networking activities, and customized support throughout 1-4 academic years to help the Notse Fellows gain the real-world skills, tools, and experiences they need to expand their academic curiosity, and be catalysts of positive change in their communities. These experiences allow Fellows to gain insights from high-level leaders across sectors while planning the way they would like to reinvest their new skills, networks, and knowledge after they graduate from the program.
Key components of the experience led by the Notse Fellows Experience include:
-
Induction formal dinner to welcome new fellows
