You will lead hundreds of thousands of people, from World Merit and beyond, in taking action and ensuring a better future for all. 
You will start by getting to know the 360 participants in the World Merit community platform. After researching issues, this group will gather in the United States, with much of the program facilitated at Indian Head Camp, before the conclusion convenes in the United Nations in New York. The period from 27 August - 12 September 2016 will prove incredibly important for you as an individual and we will work to make sure it is also the start of something important for the planet.

Overview


In the past 5 years, EFL has gone from a Harvard research initiative to helping enable over $1 Billion in finance to entrepreneurs and individuals in emerging markets. EFL Global Fellows are recent college graduates helping to tackle our largest issues on the ground across 4 continents. If you’re passionate about entrepreneurship, international development, and emerging markets, the EFL Global Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to have an outsized impact on the world.

Details

Description:


About the Fellowship:
The mission of the EFL Global Fellowship is to train and enable the next generation of global innovators in access to finance.
The two-year fellowship provides a unique opportunity for young, driven individuals to engage with a fast-paced startup in the field of international development finance. In your first year, your mission will be to propel EFL’s work by tackling projects across a spectrum of business facets. The Fellowship will likely be based in Lima, Peru or Boston, MA for the duration of the first year; personal geographical preference will be taken into account. As the fellowship unfolds, strengths, personal preference and company needs will define a longer-term role at EFL.
Past fellows have had the ability to work on high-impact projects right out of school. Examples include:
  • Designing testing interfaces that affect more than 10,000 unbanked entrepreneurs monthly
  • Developing and implementing a mobile version of the EFL product
  • Living on 3 continents and launching bank partnerships in Indonesia and Kenya
  • Taking lead on alternative data R&D initiatives to dramatically increase predictive power of the EFL score
In your first year, you could be asked to make contributions in sales, marketing, business development, account management and technology and product development. This will be an opportunity for career exploration before finding your fit.
You will be joining a tight-knit corps of friends and mentors – groups of Fellows will periodically converge in the field to work on short-term projects together. We guarantee at least six weeks of on-the-ground global experience within your first year. Additionally, an important goal of the Fellowship is to uncover and educate the future leaders of the organization.
Your success in both years of the Fellowship will depend on your ability to learn quickly in situations that are foreign, to think critically through complex challenges, to take initiative as opportunities emerge, and to execute efficiently and effectively.
