Application Deadline: November 20, 2024
Applications are now open for the 2025 Acumen UK Fellowship. Acumen invests in social entrepreneurs across the capital continuum and accompanies them on the journey to create transformational change. At Acumen Academy, we identify and prepare these leaders with the hard skills required to build scalable solutions to poverty and the harder skills of moral leadership to re-imagine and build a better world.
The UK Â Fellowship is a reflective program that brings together a cohort of extraordinary individuals with an entrepreneurial mindset and a commitment to solve problems of poverty. We equip them with the tools and community to strengthen their leadership, scale their impact, and create meaningful change in the United Kingdom.
Eligibility Requirements
– You are a social entrepreneur or senior decision-maker solving problems of poverty.
– You have 5 years of work experience (minimum) and are able to demonstrate commitment towards solving issues of poverty. On average our Fellows have 10-15 years of work experience with 10 years working on problems of poverty.
– You have a reliable internet connection and will be fully available to participate throughout the entirety of the program.
Structure
Fellows remain in their jobs and participate in a 8-month hybrid program consisting of virtual sessions, in-person immersives, and self-paced learning.
This is a high-level program overview:
- Three 4-day full-time in-person immersives (held at different locations in the UK; 4 hours of assignments for each immersive)
- Two 5-week long virtual workshop series (4 hours of assignments each week consisting of self-paced learning, facilitated sessions and group calls)
