Call for applications for the 2012 Alan Thomas Fellowship

Posted by Juliet Huntly

January 9, 2012

We are pleased to announce the call for applications for the 2012 Alan Thomas Fellowship to Promote Civil Society and Voluntary Action. First awarded in 2008, there are now six Fellowship recipients.

The 2012 Fellowship will again be awarded to a leader in the NGO/not-for-profit sector, who would not normally have access to a sabbatical leave.

Valued at a maximum of $60,000 for a period of up to one year, the award is open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. It will free the recipient from other responsibilities, to make a contribution to the sector through research and reflection.

In recognition of a shared desire to strengthen and support leadership capacity in the voluntary sector, as an essential element in advancing social change, both locally and internationally, the Carold Institute and Cuso International are now working together to promote our respective fellowship opportunities – the  Alan Thomas Fellowship and Cuso International’s first annual Bob Ward Memorial Fellowship.

The deadline for applications is Friday March 30, 2012.
