About Coalition for Good Schools Young Leaders Fellowship
The Young Leaders Fellowship is a one-year programme for young leaders from the Global South working to prevent violence against children in and through schools. They support fellows to strengthen their leadership and to build the confidence to take their place as global leaders in this field.
Benefits of Coalition for Good Schools Young Leaders Fellowship
- Continuous learning: Regular programming that connects your practice to the broader evidence base, drawing on knowledge from academia, civil society, government leaders, and children themselves. This includes applied modules on pitching, compliance, recruiting, and personnel management.
- Coaching on your initiative: You work through a structured analysis of your own initiative alongside practitioners with deep experience in school-based violence prevention. You ask harder questions of your programme: where are the strengths, where are the gaps, what might break as the work grows, and what is being measured.
- Field exposure: You build a working understanding of the violence prevention ecosystem: who the key actors are, how influence moves, and what it takes to build a credible presence. Networking sessions and guided reflection help you build relationships and map a strategy for positioning your work in the broader field.
- Community of practice: Each month, one fellow brings a real, current challenge or innovation in their work, and the cohort works the problem together. Sessions are facilitated and grounded in the realities of violence prevention work.
