Hans Foundation Young Professionals Program for Indians

Hans Foundation Young Professionals Program for Indians

The Hans Foundation (THF) is introducing one year ‘The Hans Fellowship Program’ with the objective to create a cadre of visionary leaders.

These leaders would be groomed to undertake catalytic and collaborative roles in facilitating social development processes for inclusive and equitable society.

The Hans Foundation (THF) is a registered Indian Public Charitable trust established in 2009.

It is one of the largest grant making foundations supporting organizations for development programs in the areas of health, education, disability and livelihoods.

With funding support to more than 300 organisations, it has footprints in 26 states across India and benefited more than 7 million underprivileged in the country.

The Fellowship Program would:

Provide young professionals with an opportunity to work with THF’s NGO Partners, create positive change and give a potential start to a career in the development sector.

Provide THF’s NGO Partner organizations with young talents who can support the organizations with their skill sets.

Program Structure

The Fellows will, in the first two weeks of the Fellowship, receive orientation and training. During the training period, the Fellows will also make visits to project sites to be exposed to the kind of projects the organization supports. The Fellows are expected to actively participate in all components of the training.

The Fellows will then be placed with different host organizations for eleven months. During these eleven months, THF will also organize one mid-term and one end-term review workshop/ cross-learning sessions. It is mandatory for all Fellows to attend these sessions.

What kind of support will fellows be provided during the program?
