Applications are now being accepted for the first Certificate Program in Global Citizen Leadership. The Program will take place over a 12-month period and consist of three separate, yet interconnected phases. The Program is co-sponsored by the Center for International Education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and The Global Citizens’ Initiative, with the collaboration of selected faculty members from the 5 Colleges of Western Massachusetts (Hampshire College, Smith College, Mt Holyoke College, Amherst College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst).

The program is intended to build the skills of 15 young professional leaders from around the world, and strengthen their capabilities to design, implement, and evaluate global development policies and programs. The program begins with a ten-day workshop in Amherst and continues for a year with a field-based mentoring project that participants conduct to further the mission of their own organizations.
