The Princeton in Africa Nexus Fellowship Program is expanding its model to pilot Nexus! It will pair 5 Africa Fellows educated and resident on the African continent with 5 Fellows educated at U.S. accredited institutions in the same fellowship host organizations on the African continent for a co-fellow exchange of skills, knowledge, leadership, and technical expertise. The Nexus is an addition to PiAf’s signature fellowship program targeted at young leaders educated at a U.S.-accredited institution.
The Princeton in Africa seeks to develop young leaders committed to Africa’s advancement. To accomplish this, the organization offer opportunities for service through fellowships with a variety of organizations that work across the African continent. The organization helps future leaders develop lifelong connections to the people and nations of Africa with highly selective yearlong fellowships to recent college graduates with organizations across the African continent. Fellows, through their work, will be able to make significant contributions to Africa’s well-being and to cultivate meaningful relationships with communities in Africa and with one another.
