The GLC Alumni Network is launching an international virtual fellowship designed for grassroots leaders committed to active citizenship and building community power for social and environmental justice. To learn more about this opportunity, an online information session will take place on February 5th, 2026, at 4:00 pm CET.

During the session, the fellowship program will be presented in detail, including its goals, structure, and detailed calendar. Alumni from previous editions and program mentors will join the conversation to share their firsthand experiences, lessons learned, and the impact the fellowship has had on their work. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions and connect directly with the people behind the program.

The U.S. Department of State has announced the 2025 Alumni Impact Awards, which will honor alumni whose participation in the program contributed to their ability to make a positive impact on their communities, regions, or countries. The award will cover all travel expenses related to attending the Professional Fellows Congress in Washington, DC in June 2025, and will include the opportunity to deliver a speech to the current cohort of Professional Fellows. As an awardee, you would be publicly recognized for your success, and you would have the opportunity to mentor the next generation of emerging leaders and inspire them with your story of how your Professional Fellows Program led to your current achievements.

We hope that you will consider applying for this award. The application requires two short essays (250-600 words) and one letter of recommendation from someone who is familiar with your professional work. The full announcement is attached; the deadline is November 15th, 2024. For more information and to apply, please check the GLC Alumni newsletter for October 2024.
