About The Melton Foundation’s Global Citizenship Learning Program Fellowship
The Melton Foundation’s Global Citizenship Learning Program is the ideal Fellowship for university students who aim to emerge as Global Citizens!

Joining the Melton Foundation gives you a new perspective on the world and a global platform to make a difference in your community and beyond.

As a Melton Fellow and participant in Global Citizenship Learning Program, you will:

* Experience different cultures first-hand and learn to work across boundaries of place and identity.

* Expand your knowledge about relevant global topics related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

* Boost your skills through hands-on workshops, training, and mentoring projects.

* Develop projects with Fellows and partners in your community and around the world to drive change initiatives – small or big – for wider impact.

* Join a network of 500+ Fellows and partner organizations from across sectors and world regions.

* Become part of an experiential learning lab that equips you with the know-how and confidence to take action on pressing issues around you.

The Global Citizenship Learning Program starts while you are in university. Through online learning, global teamwork, and collaborative projects you will exercise your global citizenship muscle.

Our 1.5-year Global Citizenship Learning Program is designed as an extra-curricular program that will fire up your can-do attitude and will-do motivation to become the critical thinker and global problem-solver you aspire to be. Supported by our global network of mentors and partner organizations, you’ll acquire skills in areas such as intercultural communications, teamwork, design thinking, project management, storytelling, ethical leadership, and systems thinking. As you work together with others in pursuit of collaborative solutions to challenges of today’s interconnected world, Project Teams, Acts of Global Citizenship, and global workshops and conferences will be your fueling stations.

After graduating from the program, you will join our Senior Fellow network, where you will find the stimulus and support needed as you take your own initiatives forward and continue to drive change in your growing spheres of influence.
