The Goonj Fellowship is our way of engaging with the youth in a deeper way. We are looking for people who are done looking around and are ready to do something. This Fellowship is about engaging with some real life challenges, tasks and timelines, to give you hands on experience and immersion into urban and rural India’s realities and a precursor for your own action plan at the end of the Fellowship.

 

FELLOWSHIP SEGMENT

The fellowship will involve three segments:

First: Engaging you in an ambitious pan India urban campaign involving strategic thinking, logistics, communication, people handling and managerial responsibilities.

Second: Planning and executing time-bound ideas and projects addressing an  urban/rural problem, supported by Goonj.

Third: Making sense of it all.. You will  reflect back and chart out an action plan for yourself (post fellowship) in consultation with some industry mentors, guiding you through the process.

The fellowship is designed to give an outlet to your entrepreneurial and  passionate self and nudge you to work on an action plan on a social issue that bothers you.
