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 is a vibrant leadership network that consistently catalyzes human rights change-makers globally. The program has advanced the missions of 300+ human rights advocates across a range of sectors, positioning them for exponential growth and impact. Global Fellows in Courage has created and catalyzed an active network of innovative collaborators, partners, funders, universities, practitioners, and experts, leading to powerful grassroots movements and advocates, delivering fundamental and innovative legislative advances, and enduring human rights policy changes in 25+ countries. Our cohorts’ programs improve human rights for millions of people worldwide.
