About the BeyGood Global Citizen Fellowship
Launched in 2019, following the success of commitments made at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 in December 2018, the fellowship is focused on Global Citizen’s vision of eliminating extreme poverty through providing young people with opportunities to gain experience working on social impact projects.
This year we’re delighted to announce that the applications will be open to three African countries, and we’ll be accepting applications from young changemakers in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa.
This year marks the last year of the four-year Global Citizen Fellowship Program, powered by Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD. In this final year, we’re happy to announce that we’ll be expanding the program to Kenya.
