The bridge year fellowship includes a summer campaign to raise awareness in Fellows home communities (May-August); Pre-Departure Training in California with the entire global cohort (last week in Aug); Intensive in-country orientation, where Fellows become acquainted with the country, culture, and language (September); Full immersion within a host family and community, an apprenticeship with a local NGO, small business, or government organization, and monthly training seminars with in-country staff to process and propel learning (October-March); and finally, Re-Entry Training with the entire global cohort in California, then the completion of capstone projects in Fellows home communities (April-June). To ensure that the Organization consistently offers a world-class experience for its Fellows and for the host communities in which it operates, Global Citizen Year focuses obsessively on program quality. This includes continuous training and interaction with its in-country staff, who are responsible for securing and maintaining strong partnerships with host families and apprenticeship hosts, as well as supporting, coaching, and mentoring our Fellows. During the 2015-16 program cycle Global Citizen Year developed a new training curriculum for the team leaders who coach fellows in the field and convened the entire global team for an all-staff training in California. Members of the senior leadership team also visited each country site during the fall to monitor program quality and meet with local staff. Global Citizen Year's ultimate goal is to provide the best possible in-country experience for the Organization's Fellows.
