HURFORD YOUTH FELLOWS PROGRAM
The Hurford Program seeks to build leadership skills, enhance organizational talents and harness the potential of emerging democratic leaders from around the world. Through the Fellowship program, youth activists spend three months in Washington D.C during which they expand their global network, learn lessons from activists from democracy movements around the world, and contribute to the development of the World Movement for Democracy. Fellows will be expected to organize online discussions to generate active engagement among youth activists around the world. Hurford Youth Fellows will engage in strategic meetings, conduct research, and organize and lead presentations, and information-sharing sessions on the following specific areas outlined in the “What’s Next? Youth Declaration:”
- Expanding Civic Space for Young People
- Countering Disinformation
- Building Citizen-Centric Accountability
- Delivering Democracy

They must demonstrate a strong interest in democratic activism and in the advancement of democracy in their respective communities, as well as worldwide.
