The Western Union Foundation Fellowship is intended for upcoming business leaders and community organizers from underserved, displaced, and refugee populations worldwide.
The program’s combination of online and in-person components enables participants to benefit from the global cohort while concentrating on having a local effect in their areas. The Impact Series, workshops, and weekly check-ins are all part of the virtual programming. Local Fellow-led Basecamps and a meetup are two examples of the in-person programming.
