Seniors and alumni with a strong interest in ending hunger, here are two fellowships to consider. The Emerson National Hunger Fellowship is an 11-month fellowship. Following orientation and field training in Washington, D.C., Emerson Fellows spend five months with community-based organizations throughout the United States. In mid-February fellows return to Washington for a second placement with organizations and government agencies focused on national anti-hunger and anti-...poverty policy. https://www.hungercenter.org/what-we-/emerson-fellowship// The Leland International Hunger Fellowship is a two year opportunity. Leland Fellows are placed with host organizationsinternational and local NGOs, multi-lateral organizations, private sector entities, or U.N. Agenciesmaking substantive contributions to both program and policy initiatives. Leland Fellows’ two placements are coordinated to show one issue from two different perspectives and provide experience along the full spectrum, identifying ways that fellows can bridge the gap and make the greatest contribution to food and nutrition security. https://www.hungercenter.org/what-we-do/leland-fellowship//
