Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Community Health Systems, Health, Health Support, Leadership Development
Mission:
Global Health Corps (GHC) aims to mobilize a global community of emerging leaders to build a movement for health equity.
Programs: Through the Global Health Corps fellowship program, GHC recruits and matches partner organizations that have specific needs with recent University graduates with requisite skills. Partner organizations identify an area of their operations that stands to benefit from a fellowship team. Assignments for GHC fellows have specific parameters, with a timeline and defined metrics for success. Fellows are chosen for specific assignments following an extensive application and interview process. They are selected based on their experience, character, and knowledge, and based on their possession of the specific skills necessary to accomplish the designated assignment. Each fellowship team will be composed of at least one pair of fellows, one from the United States and one from the country where the partner organization works. These fellowship teams have an impact on the communities served by their placement organization during their fellowship year, while building the community and leadership skills necessary to become leaders of the global health movement over the long term.
