The Nuru International Fellows Program is designed to be an incredible opportunity for those interested in expanding their experience by working in the field. The Nuru Fellows Program allows for talented and motivated professionals to use their skills to affect real social change by working directly with communities on the ground in rural Kenya. Potential applicants must be dedicated to serving the poor.
Successful candidates will undergo a three-week training in Nuru’s CA office. After training, fellows will participate in a seven month program based in Nuru’s project in Kuria, Kenya. The program will finish with a one week debrief in the U.S. Exemplary fellows may be offered a full-time paid position with Nuru.
All transportation, medical insurance, and living costs are paid by Nuru, as well as transportation for a three week vacation in the middle of the fellowship.
