Foundation Fellowships

Explore opportunities. Join our inspired team as a Fellow.

The Humansphere Foundation is inviting individuals who share our mission and vision, and who want to help build our global community, to join as Fellows and be part of the Humansphere Foundation Fellowships.

A Fellowship with the Humansphere Foundation is like a cross between an internship, a volunteer-ship, and a leadership development experience, with the added bonus of belonging to our special Foundation Fellowship Community.

We have several Fellowship opportunities at the Humansphere Foundation starting Spring 2026 and Summer 2026:

  • Ambassador Fellowship

  • Media Fellowship

  • Research Fellowship

  • Writing/Editing Fellowship

What Fellows offer:

  • Fellows work on special projects we designate, that combine your interest with your skill set and/or area of expertise.

  • Expected time commitment is an average of 2-3 hours/week, flexible, primarily virtual.

  • Fellows join us for a 9-to-12-month term.

What we offer Fellows:

  • A leadership and personal development experience, with exposure to and learning from experts and senior leaders across all fields and disciplines.

  • An extracurricular and academic/professional complementary program that strengthens your professional experience, amplifies your expertise, grows your network, and expands your personal portfolio of accomplishments.

  • A Fellowship Community and friendship group, of talented diverse individuals, united by a shared ethos and vision for the future.

  • A source of recommendation for future academic/professional employment opportunities and other fellowship programs and awards programs.

  • Discretionary financial honoraria and gifts for contributions and impact. There is no fixed financial compensation with our Fellowships.
