OVERVIEW

The U.S.-Japan Council’s TOMODACHI Emerging Leaders Program is an interactive, educational program designed to support the next generation of Japanese American leaders.   In 2015, twelve young Japanese American professionals will be selected to attend the U.S.-Japan Council Annual Conference in Tokyo, Japan. The Conference is a forum for education and networking among the highest levels of leadership in business, public policy, academia, journalism and community organizations. By providing access to senior leaders and education on relevant topics, the program aims to motivate participants to promote strong and positive U.S.-Japan relations in their personal and professional lives.

The TOMODACHI Emerging Leaders Program is currently in its sixth year. Past participants have created an alumni network to ensure that the commitment to strengthening U.S.-Japan relations is maintained. Continued engagement following the Conference is expected.

Selected applicants will receive transportation, hotel accommodations and Conference registration. They will also become U.S.-Japan Council Associate Members with the first year’s membership waived (membership is normally by invitation and nomination).

New America Media is pleased to announce the 2015 Equal Voice 

Journalism Fellowship and Scholarship

Funded by the Marguerite Casey Foundation, this offers a new opportunity for emerging and established journalists from ethnic and mainstream media who cover issues on poverty.

The fellowship aims to expand and increase the public’s understanding of poverty in the United States. Nearly 50 million Americans are struggling at or below the poverty line. That means there are 50 million stories to be told from different perspectives.

Journalists can apply for an Equal Voice Journalism Fellowship and write at least one in-depth story or a series of stories that illustrate how language, culture and race influence public attitudes and policy about the poor.

Selected journalists will receive a stipend of $2,250, plus up to $1,000 in travel reimbursement. College-enrolled student journalists may also apply for the Equal Voice Scholarship, which offers $500 and up to $800 for travel.

Now think about the best medium in which to tell your story: video, audio, photography, text/print, graphics — or multimedia. Find an outlet that will agree to publish/distribute your story.

Applicants will need:

1. An essay articulating your project/idea

2. Resume/List of positions, accomplishments and awards

3. Letter of commitment from a publisher/editor or support letter from campus media

4. A letter of recommendation

5. Permanent links to work samples/recent content you have produced

Deadline to submit your application is June 7th. No applications submitted after June 13, 2015, will be considered. Click here to access the application form.

Marguerite Casey Foundation is dedicated to creating a movement of working families advocating on their own behalf for change. They strive to bring humility and hope to their work. Their actions are guided by the firm belief that significant positive change is not only possibly, but absolutely necessary.

Reply

Your interest in undertaking an internship with the UNDP Office in Azerbaijan is acknowledged with great pleasure. We hope the below information will further stimulate your interest and encourage you to apply.

Objective of the Program

The internship should be beneficial both for the intern and the UNDP Office. The internship should familiarize the intern with the overall UN system and with its multidimensional activities in the country. The placement should further add practical knowledge and skills to the intern’s theoretical knowledge of international development issues. The UNDP Office will benefit from the academic knowledge, professional experience and personal skills of the interns. Interns often bring new, fresh ideas to the Office. Moreover, they contribute by making the Office re-think its own performance and procedures through the eyes of the interns.

Required Qualifications

Interns should possess, or be enrolled in a programme for obtaining, a university degree in communications, economic, political or social sciences, preferably in the field of development economics, international law, environmental studies, international relations or media studies. Interest in human development and human rights should be reflected in the curriculum vitae. Some work experience in the field of international cooperation, development assistance or humanitarian aid in their home countries or in the field would be an asset. Applicants should have a very good command of English and, ideally, knowledge of one of the local languages, Azerbaijani or Russian.

National interns (citizens of Azerbaijan) should be fluent in English and Azerbaijani.

No preference will be given to applicants based on their sex or country of origin. UNDP strives to give equal opportunity to applicants.

Duration

The internship programme is organized in three terms a year: autumn (September-December), winter (January-April) and summer (May-August) terms. In the application form, the applicant should indicate the preferred period during which he/she wishes to do the internship. For planning purposes, the Office will then determine whether the indicated preferences conform with programme needs.

Nature of Assignment

The intern will assist a staff member in the Office in research on different topics and in the execution of day-to-day business, in one of the areas of Economic Governance, Energy and Environment, or Good Governance. Links to the relevant generic Terms of Reference can be found below. The intern may be asked to perform any task indicated in the job description or designated by the supervisor. The intern will be involved to the greatest extent possible in substantive office activities. Interns could also make valuable contributions to specific or incidental activities such as congresses, exhibitions or workshops. A detailed job description will be given to the successful applicant for reference.

Responsibilities

The intern will not be given responsibilities equal to staff members in the execution of tasks. No responsibilities may be transferred onto the intern. The supervising staff member bears ultimate responsibility for programme work, projects and supplementary activities.

Career opportunities with UNDP

The purpose of the Internship Programme is not to lead to further employment with UNDP but to complement an intern’s studies. However, a number of interns, having completed their studies and meeting the necessary requirements, have taken up proper assignments with UNDP or other United Nations agencies.

Description

The Open Society Youth Fellowship supports young activists and organizers as thought leaders and allies in crafting solutions and new youth-focused approaches to open society challenges.

Youth Fellows should take advantage of the considerable intellectual and logistical resources of the Open Society Foundations and expect to contribute meaningfully to the Foundations’ thinking in return. While fellows will work outside of Open Society Foundations core offices, they will liaise with the Open Society Youth Exchange to identify opportunities for both in-person and virtual engagement with Open Society staff and partners. The Youth Exchange will work with each individual fellow to identify additional opportunities for the fellow to learn from and collaborate with staff and partners through site visits, speaking engagements, and other fora.

Fellows may produce a variety of work products, including publications, such as reports and blog posts; infographics and other visual content; innovative education and training resources and tools; the launch of new campaigns and organizations; and creation of artistic or cultural expression projects. They may also engage in activities such as hosting panel discussions, traveling to conferences, and presenting on their work in other public spaces.

Eligibility

All applicants should be under the age of 30. While we will consider applicants who are currently employed by a civil society organization or university, we will request additional information to confirm that the individual is acting on their own in regards to their proposed project, and that their current employer is flexible with their independent role as a Youth Fellow.

The Youth Exchange accepts proposals from anywhere in the world, with a particular interest in proposals from the global south. Applicants should possess a deep understanding of their particular field and a record of successful movement-building initiatives, innovative project management experience, and/or experience in research/tools development. Applicants must be proficient in spoken English.

Fellowship applications should relate to at least one of the following areas of work:

  • youth mobilization and innovation in traditional human rights movements (i.e., the LGBTQ rights movement, disability rights, women’s rights, drug policy reform, etc.)
  • youth participation and civic engagement particularly around elections
  • youth-led movements
  • youth-led work in the field of justice (for example, policing, pretrial detention, incarcerated youth, or alternative sentencing)
  • youth tactics in advocacy and awareness raising (for example new media, arts activism, peer-to-peer networks, etc.) around human rights issues
  • youth in closed or transitional societies

Scholarship

Fellows will receive a stipend of $35,000–50,000 depending on experience and current income. The fellowship will also cover some travel and project costs related to the fellows’ work to be discussed.

How to apply?

All interested applicants should complete the online application form and submit supporting materials for consideration. Applicants may submit a project proposal or other materials in a language other than English, as long as they also submit an English translation. Certified translations are strongly recommended.

Once the initial information has been entered, applicants receive login details and an ID number that allows them to make additions and revisions to the form until materials are submitted. The ID number should be quoted in any correspondence. The program strongly encourages applicants to submit only electronic supporting materials. However, if applicants have hard copy materials that they feel are essential to the evaluation of their project, they can list these at the end of the project proposal. Fellowship staff will reach out to applicants should it be necessary to review these materials.

Note: Only applicants without internet access may send an application by post. An application form is available in the Download Files section. All others must apply online. For more information or technical difficulties with the online application form, please contact the Youth Exchange at youth.exchange@opensocietyfoundations.org.
