Anima International Fellowship 2026
Details
Description
Join the Anima International Fellowship 2026 – a 3-week program for ambitious people who want to make a positive difference in the world.
You will gain campaigning skills and strategies, learn about the movement and its history, and make professional connections with experienced advocates from our organization and the broader effective advocacy community.
We'll cover your travel, meals, and accommodation, plus a stipend for personal expenses.
Our primary goal is to find people we want to hire at Anima International, or who would be a strong fit at other animal advocacy organisations. Being a fellow doesn't guarantee a job – but you will leave with the skills, network, and clarity to be a stronger candidate wherever you end up.
