The Gratitude Network is creating a community of powerful leaders positively contributing to the lives of under-resourced children and youth globally. With our Fellowship we seek to increase the leadership development capacity of leaders who in turn transform their organizations. We engage Coaches and Expert Advisors to support our Fellows to hone their leadership skills, work with their teams more effectively, and ultimately increase their organization’s impact for children and youth. We also bring together these social impact change makers to learn and grow from one another. Our network effect accelerates change – leaders learn from and thrive on each other within our network. Part 1 of the application is a preliminary questionnaire designed to confirm alignment with the Fellowship criteria. Applicants who meet the requirements will be invited to complete Part 2 of the application. Invitations to complete Part 2 of the application will be sent throughout the application period. All Part 2 invited Applicants will be notified by September 3, 2021.
