MicroEmpowering.org provides community organizations, non-profit institutions, and social entrepreneurs with the technology, educational materials, and services they need to implement fiscally and environmentally sustainable projects. MicroEmpowering.org’s closed loop approach to grass-roots sustainable projects bridges the gaps in traditional financing and donor-based social entrepreneurship.
Applications for the social innovation fellowship program are now open! The program provides you with a unique opportunity to travel to the region where our empowering projects are implemented (in the United States and abroad). Our fellows are given an opportunity to learn more about sustainable development, work with a practitioner at the micro level and gain field experience in project management!
We are looking for fellowship candidates that have previous international experience (preferably in developing countries) and:
- have a high degree of flexibility,
- possess great problem solving skills that will be helpful in crafting solutions to alleviate poverty,
- are passionate about micro-enterprise development, sustainable economics, and STEM education,
- are interested in creating sustainable projects to empower the poor,
- are comfortable with Web applications (word and excel),
- and are able to stay on assignment for at least two months (6 months max).
