About the HKS Fellowships:
At the heart of the Center for Public Leadership’s (CPL) mission are our graduate student fellowships, which provide robust leadership development and training to rising public leaders each year. The fellowships offer students an intensive, cohort-based co-curricular program grounded in servant leadership and experiential learning that supplement students’ time in the classroom. The programming speaks to the core of CPL’s and Harvard Kennedy School’s (HKS) commitments to improving public leadership across the globe.
About the Position:
The Program Manager will oversee the programming and engagement for two prestigious fellowships: the Wolk Israeli Graduate Fellowship, which supports emerging Israeli leaders, and the Gleitsman Fellowship in Social Activism which cultivates students committed to social change. We are particularly interested in candidates who bring familiarity with the Jewish community and Hebrew language skills would be a plus, as one of the fellowships engages deeply with Jewish leadership and culture. That said, both fellowships benefit from a thoughtful, inclusive, and community centered approach to leadership development.
This position is a fully benefits-eligible term appointment ending one year from date of hire, with possibility of renewal.
