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.
