Refugees International 2025 Refugee Fellows Program

Refugees International is excited to announce a call for applications for the 2025 cohort of its Refugee Fellows Program, set to start in August 2025. This unique fellowship focuses on enriching and supporting the existing advocacy efforts of emerging forcibly displaced leaders around the world. Our 2025 cohort is tailored to maximize the growth of our fellows and the impact of their work. The year-long program will ensure that fellows receive robust support for the advocacy goals they are pursuing. Refugees International is committed to providing the necessary tools, resources, and access to amplify refugee and displaced people’s voices and drive change in the advocacy landscape.
Eligibility Criteria for Refugees International 2025 Refugee Fellows Program
- The fellowship is open to applicants from all countries. However, priority will be given to emerging forcibly displaced individuals working in regions, countries, and on themes that align with Refugees International’s current advocacy priorities.
- These may include contexts where Refugees International is actively engaged or where there are critical gaps in refugee and displacement-related advocacy that the organization seeks to address.
Language Proficiencies:
English language competency is preferred for the ultimate success of the fellowship program so that fellows may engage with all aspects of Refugees International's work and staff. Competency in other key advocacy and local languages is also preferred.
Digital Access:
This is a remote program, so candidates must have their own computer and internet access to participate.
Eligibility for Grant:
Fellows must have a bank account to which the grant can be transferred in adherence with U.S. law.
Performance Review:
Fellows will go through quarterly performance reviews. If fellows are found not to be meeting the fellowship objectives and deliverables, Refugees International reserves the right to suspend the fellowship.
Program Components
Technical Training: Enhancing skills such as public speaking, advocacy planning, and fundraising, or other themes tailored to meet the needs of the fellows.
2. Professional Networking: supporting fellows to network with figures in the humanitarian field, fostering professional relationships and collaborative opportunities.
3. Collaborative Advocacy Events and Trips: Offering opportunities for partnership with Refugees International on key advocacy issues through collaborative events and research trips.
Duration: Aug 1, 2025 to July 30, 2026.
