Global Health Corps (GHC) is a leadership development organization focused on building the next generation of diverse, disruptive global health leaders. Founded in 2009, we competitively recruit talented professionals (ages 21-30) from a range of sectors and backgrounds and place them in high-impact roles within partner organizations -- including Clinton Health Access Initiative, Partners in Health, Planned Parenthood Global, and Government Ministries in Zambia, Rwanda, and Uganda -- working on the front lines of health equity in Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, the US, and Zambia. More on the growing movement for health equity here.
GHC is seeking fellows from a wide range of backgrounds, geographies, and expertise. Through a one-year paid fellowship program, fellows provide the expertise and leadership potential needed to fill capacity gaps in global health. Applications are open until February 2, 2016. Jobs for the 2016-2017 fellowship year run from June 2016 to July 2017.
Rwanda, “the land of a thousand hills,” has emerged in the last several decades as a bright beacon and development powerhouse on the African continent. Progress has been marked by an uptick in economic development, impressive gender equity countrywide, and His Excellency President Paul Kagame’s Vision 2020 to transform the country into a middle-income economy within five years. Global Health Corps has worked in Rwanda since 2009, proudly partnering with government agencies and local organizations on the frontlines of the health equity movement to address a wide range of issues.
