Meet the 2023 JA Worldwide Fellows
January 18, 2023
We’re thrilled to announce the fourth cohort of the JA Worldwide Fellows Program. Launched in 2018, the global staff development initiative deepens leadership, mentorship, and strategic skills through virtual leadership training sessions, in-person development opportunities, and transformational coaching sessions.
The newest cohort of JA Worldwide Fellows will participate in a variety of high-impact initiatives over the course of their 12-month fellowship, including the launch of JA Worldwide’s global onboarding initiative, the planning and launch of the 2023 JA Worldwide Global Leadership Conference, design and participation in the Women in Global Leadership Development Conference, and much more.
After a competitive year of applications from 24 JA locations, JA Worldwide selected eight Fellows, representing all six regions. This is also our first all-women cohort!
Meet the 2023 Fellows:
The JA Worldwide Fellows Program is a powerful learning opportunity designed to support the development of our high-potential JA leaders across the globe. Our goal is both to develop leaders within the network and encourage local JA locations to deepen their commitment to investing in staff. By the end of the program, Fellows will have . . .
Developed deep expertise in servant-based leadership; learned to empower their teams, coach colleagues, and create psychological safety; and drastically improved communication
Developed a deep understanding of who they are at their best and how to summon their best selves with ease
Dramatic improvement in productivity, motivation, and alignment to their personal purpose
Collaborated on a regional or global project of strategic importance to the success of JA globally
Deepened skills, including fundraising, education pedagogy, operations management, communications and marketing, design thinking, digital expertise, and more
In addition to the Fellows, we’re looking forward to rolling out even more new learning opportunities and credentials for JA staff—like the microlearning credential with Rumie—throughout 2023!
