The InterExchange Foundation Christianson Fellowship awards young Americans who are passionate about helping communities abroad thrive and are eager to learn about the local culture. Fellows identify a project or an organization working on an issue they care about, and with the support of the Christianson Fellowship, contribute their skills and passion to that endeavor for at least six months on-location abroad. The volunteer project must be outside of the U.S. and conducted in-person at the host location. We support a wide range of projects, including Community Development, Education, Environment, Human Rights, Public Health, and Sustainable Development. Two signed letters of recommendation are required; one letter may be from an academic instructor and the other must be from a supervisor, employer, or coach.
