Acumen has launched the Global Fellows Program – a fellowship program for selected fellows to undertake intensive leadership training in New York, USA and in South Asia and Africa. This is a learning opportunity for those individuals “dedicated to serving the poor and whohave the business and operational expertise, and moral imagination needed to effect long-term social change. The fellowship begins with an eight-week training program in the Acumen New York office, where Fellows learn about business models for the poor, hone their leadership skills, and learn more about Acumen.”
After training, each Fellow works for the CEO or seniormanagement of an Acumen investee on a critical business issue facing the organization.

FIELD PLACEMENT
Mid-November to August
For nine months, Fellows work at one of Acumen’s portfolio companies as key staff members. Fellows work directly with entrepreneurs, interact with customers, and grapple, first-hand, with the complex issues of addressing the needs of the poor.
DEBRIEF & BEYOND
September & Onwards
Fellows return to New York to share their experiences and lessons learned with the Acumen staff and community. Fellows receive career development support to assist with their post-Fellowship career plans.
