The Giddy2School Global Leadership & Innovation Fellowship (GGLF), is an intensive education empowerment, skills, and leadership development program designed to equip underserved youth (ages 18–27) with disruptive education, market-relevant skills, entrepreneurship training, mentorship, followed by a statutory community project either in innovation, leadership, or entrepreneurship–solving a pressing need in fellow’s communities.
Over 3-5 months, selected fellows will participate in a blended learning model using our LMS, combining skills development modules under the soft and hard skills tracks of the organization. Fellows are inducted into the Community Impact Labs, where they conceptualize, design, and launch projects/businesses/innovations addressing local issues, supported by mentorship and seed funding.
The Global Leadership & Innovation fellowship empowers our resolve to provide disruptive quality education while complementing the conventional formal educational system with hands-on, skills-based experiential learning that aligns with current economic demands, fostering a mindset shift from dependency to innovation and strengthening the quality of education and retention.
This is a Novel Selection; however, we will be admitting only exceptional and promising applicants. If this sounds like you, apply below.
