About US-Brazil Connect:
Since its founding as an independent nonprofit in 2011, US-Brazil Connect has quickly become a leading facilitator of collaborative international education programs linking the US and Brazil.

US-Brazil Connect strives to strengthen education and build economic opportunities by connecting communities, engaging leaders, and creating transformative learning experiences linking the United States and Brazil.
Position description:
Our fellowship programs offer much more than a highly subsidized trip to Brazil. Each selected fellow has the chance to work their way through an unmatched experience in international leadership as a creative partner with Brazilian students. Active partnership—rather than passive consumerism—helps fellows build holistic skills in global leadership and international problem solving. Selected Fellows must agree to fulfill a number of responsibilities at each stage of the program. Those responsibilities include training (both online and in-person training sessions), online coaching, traveling to Brazil for a 4-week period over the summer, and in-person coaching.
Qualifications:
Global Leaders Fellow must be at least 18 years old and be either a college graduate or attending college courses.
Priority will be given to applicants with the following qualifications:
Ability to complete each of the Fellow Responsibilities
Ability to use online tools such as Facebook, Google Hangouts and Google Drive
Flexibility to live and work in a range of urban and rural Brazilian sites
Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
Respect for cultural and ideological diversity
Ability to work cooperatively while maintaining a positive attitude
Commitment to personal growth and skills development in international leadership
