AIUSA: Ladis Kristof Memorial Fellowship for Human Rights Advocacy - INFO & APPLICATION

Amnesty International USA
AIUSA is proud to strengthen and expand Ladis Kristof’s legacy and honor his lifelong commitment to human rights by partnering with the Kristof family on the the Ladis Kristof Memorial Fellowship for Human Rights Advocacy, a fellowship to honor and inspire a new generation of human rights defenders.

Fellowship Description

One exceptional AIUSA student activist will receive the Ladis Kristof Memorial Fellowship for his or her outstanding efforts on behalf of human rights, and will be awarded a ten-week residency with the Member Engagement Unit. The Fellow will work closely to develop a project around a priority campaign and help strengthen member communications at the regional and national level. The Fellowship will promote a deeper understanding of human rights work, strengthen the Fellow’s advocacy skills, and further prepare her or him to be an effective life-long activist. The Kristof Fellow will work out of one of the national offices located in New York or Washington, DC.

The Fellow's residency expenses for the ten-week period, including airfare to and from the New York or DC office, will be covered by a $6,500 stipend.
