The Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellowship trains emerging leaders in the movement to end hunger worldwide. Each class of twelve to fifteen dedicated fellows develops the tools and skills they need to become effective change agents, advancing the goal of a hunger-free world by strengthening host organizations and building food and nutrition security at the field and policy level. The Congressional Hunger Center seeks talented applicants from every sector and background who are dedicated to fighting hunger and poverty on a global scale. Individuals from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds as well as those with lived experience of food insecurity are especially encouraged to apply to the Leland Fellowship. The Leland Fellowship is open to any U.S. citizen or legal permanent residents, and we welcome candidates with diverse professional and life experiences, perspectives, and identities. Candidates who exhibit flexibility and a growth mindset may also take full advantage of the fellowship.
