Global Fellows in Courage (GFiC) was founded with a simple goal: to identify bold, courageous young human rights advocates and accelerate their efforts by providing access to ideas, information, connections, and capital.

To help emerging leaders drive bold and courageous social change, improve their effectiveness, and advance their missions throughout the world.

By 2030, Global Fellows in Courage has developed and empowered a dynamic network of 300+ human rights leaders driving transformative change worldwide. Active in nearly 100 countries, we inspire, support, and equip advocates who ignite grassroots movements, shape social policy, and advance lasting legislative and legal progress. With the support of our global network of volunteers, funders, advocates, and institutions, our Fellows have secured, protected, and expanded human rights for over 2 billion people - unlocking human potential and advancing the universal pursuit of life, liberty, dignity and happiness.
