If you're between the ages of 19 and 35, have an idea for social change, and are willing to put your money where your mouth is, you may be in luck.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is now accepting applications for its Impact Toolbox Youth in Development Fellowship 2024, the Washington Post reports.
The fellowship, which is open to people ages 19 to 35 from any part of the world, is a three-day, $1,000-per-person boot camp that will teach you "how to develop a theory of change, a business model, a minimal viable product (MVP), a financial model, a go-to-market strategy, tell compelling stories, develop effective business plans, and pitch to investors," according to the foundation's website.
"Most of the alumni of this program have gone ahead to create viable and highly impactful social ventures that are transforming the social-economic landscapes of their communities," the site says.
To be eligible, applicants need to be proficient in reading, writing, and speaking English; be from any part of the world; have an idea or initiative for social change; and "have a well-defined plan for revenue generation, a commitment to addressing societal issues, innovation, and the potential for substantial social impact."
