MISSION

What if you could identify the brightest, most resilient young people displaced or orphaned by conflict, who have survived - and thrived - despite enormous odds?

What if you could bring them together in a sheltering space and help them heal, learn, and excel through exposure to maverick thinkers and mentors in areas as diverse as entrepreneurship, spirituality, technology, design, psychology - all focused on finding ways to dramatically improve the human condition through creativity, compassion, and innovation?

What if you could give them the tools, sanctuary, and encouragement to unfold and develop from their own unique blueprint into deeply authentic, connected human beings - with humility, openness, and an understanding of their place in the world as a part of the whole?

What if they used the power of their individual and collective strength to change their worlds - and through that, they changed the world for us all?

The Strongheart Fellowship Program is a groundbreaking healing and learning guidance program designed to help bright, resilient young people from extremely challenging circumstances around the globe develop into compassionate, innovative problem-solvers and leaders that can affect significant social change.

 

Criteria for Acceptance

The Strongheart Fellows Program awards fellowships to young people from extremely challenging circumstances who have shown a high level of leadership potential and a marked capacity for self-direction.

There are three criteria for selection of Fellows:

  1. Exceptional leadership aptitude - defined as the demonstration of the following traits: compassion, intelligence, drive, moral commitment, maturity, judgment, and charisma. They can be a leader in thought, action or of people.
  2. A demonstrated “inner resilience” personality based on current or past reactions and adaptation to extreme circumstances.
  3. Inadequate financial resources and/or access to the highest quality of education available in their country.

The recruitment advisory board evaluates each potential Fellow for the above criteria.
