MCW Global Young Leaders Fellowship 2027

MCW Global’s fellowship turns a proposed community project into an action plan. Fellows begin with a needs assessment, attend training in New York and Burlington from July 20 to 29, 2027, and continue working with an alumni mentor through July 2028.

• Be 18 to 26 on June 1, 2027 and fluent in written and spoken English. Applicants from all countries may apply.
• Identify a local problem in education, health or economic security and commit to online work and the in-person training.
• Have reliable internet and email access and be eligible for the required travel documents.

MCW covers economy flights, training-period lodging and meals, and travel between New York and Burlington. Participants cover passports, visas and certain local travel costs. If accepted, budget for the $100 deposit due March 16, 2027, which MCW refunds after successful completion of the in-person training.
