The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is accepting applications for its remunerated 2006 Special Youth Program fellowship through February 17. Qualified candidates will be between the ages of 20–24, currently living in a developing nation, and will have some previous experience working on development issues. Accepted fellows will begin with a six-month fellowship at UNFPA headquarters in New York City. While serving in New York, fellows will assist in ongoing UNFPA projects and will develop a work plan/project proposal to be considered for implementation in the fellow’s country of origin. The fellowship will be extended up to an additional three months in the fellow’s country of origin, to be served at a local UNFPA office, if performance standards are met while serving at UNFPA headquarters. The Special Youth Program strives to give youth living in developing countries the chance to engage in meaningful youth policy development and programming. For mor information, click here.
