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. In 2015, Global Citizen Year hired a U.S.-based Global Program Director to continuously improve the leadership capacity of its in-country staff and local partnerships, with the ultimate goal of ensuring the best-possible experiences for the Organization's Fellows.
