Our Global Fellowship Program

For the past four years, IDEO.org has fostered social sector leaders through our Global Fellowship Program. We’ve seen alumni design solutions to the world’s most difficult problems and bring a human-centered take to their subsequent work as country directors for PSI, Creative Directors at social startups, and even a Design Director gig here at IDEO.org. So though we’re closing the Fellowship with the class of 2014-2015, we’re committed to exploring new paths to train up the creative problem solvers of tomorrow. We’re always on the hunt for talented people who are passionate about the social sector, so please check our careers page for inspiring opportunities to do good through design.
