About the NNAAC Transformative Leaders Fellowship Program
The NNAAC Fellowship program is a leadership development training program that has been developed through the National Network for Arab American Communities. The program is designed for Arab American undergraduate juniors or seniors or graduate level college students, or recent graduates. Fellows will be expected to work 16 hours per week in an Arab American human services/arts & culture organization, and will be given opportunities to learn about all aspects of a non-profit organization, including administration, finance, fundraising, communications, community engagement, and service delivery, among other things. The Fellowship program will run from October, 2017 – June, 2018, and each Fellow will receive a $3,500 stipend throughout their service.
Fellows will be required to attend an orientation during October 6 & 7, 2017, and Arab American Leadership Days (Spring 2018) all expenses paid by NNAAC. In addition, Fellows will be required to participate in regular trainings offered electronically by NNAAC. Fellows will also be required to work with their host organization on developing a professional development plan during their fellowship, obtaining additional training opportunities, and receiving important professional support for them to achieve their goals.
