Global Citizen is a community of people like you. People who want to learn about and take action on the world’s biggest challenges — and use their power to get other people involved too. They bring you stories and actions that make a difference. That help fight extreme poverty and inequality around the world, and supports approaches that will make life more sustainable for people and the planet. Powered by BeyGOOD, the Global Citizen Fellowship Program will unearth African youth with remarkable potential. Through the program, 15 young people will each engage in a paid, year-long fellowship aligned to one of Global Citizen’s four pillars of activity: creative, campaigns, rewards, and marketing.
