The New Voices Fellowship at the Aspen Institute uses communications, advocacy, and storytelling training to equip experts and advocates from countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean with skills to change public opinion and shift public policy.
By providing Fellows the skills to communicate and amplify their messages, the program shifts power to those with proximity to the communities they serve. Fellows combine the support of trained advocacy mentors with their increased recognition to advocate for policy change at local, national and global levels.
THIS FELLOWSHIP WILL
Motivate You!
Everyone is motivated in different ways. What drives you? And what sustains that commitment? Finding your motivation – and staying motivated – is key to this Fellowship. We hope this Fellowship can engage your sense of purpose, reflect your core values and connect with a new community of friends and allies.
Strecth You!
Enter the year with an open mind. Prepare yourself to be challenged, to learn, and to listen. To us, stretching means pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone to try something new. You’ll surprise yourself by how much more you can accomplish if you think about how best to leverage your time and talents.
IMPACT OF THE FELLOWSHIP
Having been a part of other, highly prominent international fellowships, I am even more certain that NVF does not have a parallel in terms of efficacy in design of modules, authenticity of staff, quality of mentors and the global community it is creating.
