February 2, 2024
We are pleased to announce the fifth cohort of JA Worldwide Fellows, a select group of JA leaders from around the JA global network. Launched in 2018, this global staff development initiative deepens leadership, mentorship, and strategic skills through virtual leadership training sessions, in-person development opportunities, and transformational coaching sessions.
A Global Staff Initiative
The JA Worldwide Fellows is an initiative that support the human-capital development of our high-potential JA leaders across. Our goal is both to develop leaders within the network and encourage your local JA location to deepen your commitment to investing in staff. By the end of the program, Fellows will have achieved the following:
Developed deep expertise in servant-based leadership; empowering their teams, coaching colleagues, creating psychological safety, and drastically improving communication
Developed 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
This cohort of JA Worldwide Fellows will participate in a variety of high-impact initiatives. In the past, Fellows have supported the launch of JA Worldwide’s global onboarding initiative, the launch of GLC Virtual, the design of and participation in the Women in Global Leadership Development Conference, and much more.
