Description

As we seek to continue engaging talented students from the University of Michigan, it is my pleasure to share that the annual application for Catholic Relief Services’ (CRS) International Development Fellows Program is now open. We believe that this unique 12-month professional development opportunity, designed for individuals dedicated to a career in international relief and development, will appeal to many of your graduate students and recent alumni.

CRS is one of the largest and most trusted international relief and development organizations. In more than 100 countries worldwide, CRS promotes transformative and sustainable change by using holistic approaches, engaging people at all levels, and tailoring our work to the needs of the people we serve.

As an organization that celebrates and promotes diversity, and which is committed to the ongoing work of racial equity, we welcome students of all backgrounds and nationalities. We encourage individuals from the countries and regions where we work and from underrepresented groups in the U.S. to join our diverse global workforce in seeking innovative, sustainable solutions to the world’s most challenging problems.

International Development Fellows are prepared for success in a range of managerial roles with CRS by completing foundational training in project management, project design and proposal development, systems and operations, and partnership. Fellows build their skills in sustainable programming and effective operations by working alongside experienced staff in a CRS office overseas. Fellows take leading and supporting roles on a variety of CRS projects during the fellowship year (often gaining exposure to programming in Agriculture, Health, Emergency Response and Recovery, Education, and more). Most Fellows continue working with CRS overseas upon successful completion of the program.

Candidates are required to have:

  • a graduate degree (by August 2022)
  • relevant overseas experience
  • excellent English communication skills (writing and speaking)
  • professional proficiency in a second language
  • a commitment to serving vulnerable populations around the world.

The Fellowship application will be open until November 1, 2021. We encourage candidates to visit the International Development Fellows website to learn more about the program structure, core learning areas, requirements, application and selection process, and to note the dates and times of the online information sessions.
