Applications are open for the Pathy Foundation Fellowship 2024-2025. The Pathy Foundation Fellowship is an intensive 12-month experiential learning opportunity for you to lead a self-directed community-focused project in a community you have a meaningful connection with, anywhere in the world.
Whether revitalizing Mi’kmaq identity in Ktaqamkuk (Newfoundland), developing health networks with Somali diaspora in Ottawa, creating land-based resilience programming for youth in Montreal, establishing social enterprise and improving menstrual hygiene in Godhra, India, or engaging youth in participatory sexual and reproductive health education in Yangon, Myanmar, Fellows have worked across the globe on a wide variety of projects, each with a unique focus.
Benefits
Upon selection to the program, Fellows are provided with up to $40,000 to contribute to:
- a living allowance (including housing, food, local transport and insurance);
