Results Canada Advocacy Fellowship

Results Canada, an Ottawa based anti-poverty advocacy organisation, runs a five month virtual fellowship that trains people across Canada to push for policies that end extreme poverty. Fellows learn about global health, education and economic inclusion in low and middle income countries, then put it into practice by writing to the media and meeting federal decision makers. It takes 2 to 4 hours a week and is free to join.

What you get:

• Five months of advocacy and leadership training and support from Results Canada staff
• Learning on global health, the causes and consequences of extreme poverty, and the solutions
• Training in writing letters to the editor and op-eds, and in influencing your MP and senators
• Webinars with guest speakers
• A network of like-minded Fellows across Canada

What you'll do:

• Meet virtually with your cohort, including a monthly Fellowship call and a monthly Action Kick-Off call
• Write to the media and raise awareness on social media
• Engage federal government decision makers on health equity, quality education and economic inclusion
• Set monthly Fellowship goals, file progress reports, and work together on Slack
