Call for Applications: Global Scholar: COVID-19 Edition
Application Period: July 21—August 3, 2020
We are very happy to partner with AMP Global Youth on the AMP Global Scholar program.
Global Scholar: COVID-19 Edition offers a special opportunity for youth
from across the United States and Morocco to come together to explore
their shared experiences and connections, understand their differences,
and work together to propose bold youth-led interventions and
alternatives.
The program is funded by the
Stevens Initiative.
Key Program Elements
Amplifying Youth Solutions
We will explore what it means to be a global citizen and the unique
power of youth to redefine our future and make change happen.
Exploring COVID
COVID-19 isn’t just a public health challenge. It has widened existing challenges across all sectors, from food security to immigration. Global Scholars will examine COVID-19 as a systemic challenge, which requires dynamic action.
Building Skills
Global Scholars build skills to initiate projects in their communities addressing the impacts of COVID-19 and support each other across borders too. The world cannot wait for your action!
