Each year, a group of 20-24 emerging leaders from different regions of the world are selected to become Ford Fellows of the 92nd Street Y. Participating countries change each year. For the 2009 Fellowship, we are accepting applications from Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Estonia, Ethiopia, Israel, Latvia, Liberia, Lithuania and Uruguay. The program includes a three-week residency in New York City (June 5-June 24, 2009) and ongoing communication before and after the residency via telephone and email. Fellows are expected to complete assignments prior to their residency to maximize the value of their Fellowship experience and after their residency to evaluate its impact and success.
