Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows
Program
The Congressional Hunger Center seeks applicants for the Mickey Leland
International Hunger Fellows Program. This 2-year service-learning initiative
begins with a 1-year field placement in countries throughout Asia, Africa,

a policy setting (often in the field organization’s headquarters)
to focus on public policy and its effects on hunger, food security and
poverty. Applicants should have a Graduate degree (or equivalent experience)
appropriate to the relevant fellowship placement, at least 3 months
continuous work or volunteer experience in a developing country, demonstrated
leadership qualities and abilities, flexibility and personal maturity
and a strong commitment to alleviating hunger and poverty. Other skills
and knowledge as specified in the fellowship placement may also be required.
Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents. Application
Deadline:
January 15, 2005
