Social Good Summit Fellowship Program

Call for Applications – Social Good Summit Fellowship Program

YPFP is partnering with the United Nations Foundation on the 2014 Social Good Summit. This year’s Summit, held during UN week, focuses on the power of social media, innovation, and technology to solve our world’s greatest issues. YPFP is assembling a select group of Social Good Summit Fellows to cover the event via real-time blogging, tweeting, and on-the ground reporting in four global languages: Russian, Chinese, Hindi, and Arabic.

The Social Good Summit Fellowship program will take place in New York City, from September 21-22, to coincide with the convening of the 2014 Social Good Summit. In conjunction with the +SocialGood partners and the Social Good Summit at large, fellows will help amplify some of the most important discussions taking place throughout the week. 

The theme of the 2014 Social Good Fellowship will reflect the theme of this year’s Social Good Summit “#2030 Now: Connecting for Good, Connecting for All” and will be a deeper dive into some of the issues that will be addressed on the main stage at this year’s Social Good Summit.  Programming will include in depth conversations led by climate experts, Social Good Summit Partners, world explorers and some of the most influential thought leaders today with a special focus on the post 2015 agenda.

The 2014 Social Good Summit

The Social Good Summit is an annual convening that incorporates voices and points of view from major influencers around the world around the biggest issues facing the globe today.  These voices should be diverse and have vast reach.  The various fellowships to take place this year during the Social Good Summit will bring together a diverse set of people who are expert communicators whose purpose will be to amplify our work in their native tongues and throughout their globally networked communities around the world.
