On 2 December, 2018, Tyler Perry and BeyGOOD made an incredible announcement at Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 –– supporting employment on the African continent through the Global Citizen Fellowship. 2022 marks the fourth year of the program, and what’s more, we’re extending to Kenya!
Applications are now open for the Global Citizen Fellowship Program Powered by BeyGOOD.
Global Citizen is looking for 5 South African, 5 Nigerian, AND 5 Kenyan young people to each engage in a full-time, paid, year-long fellowship aligned to one of Global Citizen’s four pillars of activity: creative, campaigns, rewards, and marketing.
Powered by BeyGOOD, the Global Citizen Fellowship Program will unearth African youth with remarkable potential.
This dynamic program will take fellows through a five-phase curriculum, specifically designed to equip them with the skills and tools they need to thrive –– now, and in future professional environments.
