US Leadership Accelerator

The U.S. Leadership Accelerator is a 9-month fellowship program offered by Global Health Corps (GHC) that aims to cultivate emerging public health leaders dedicated to advancing health equity. This tuition-free program is tailored for early-career, non-clinical public health professionals currently engaged in full-time roles within the United States. It combines virtual monthly workshops with two in-person gatherings, providing participants with leadership training, coaching, mentorship, and access to a global network of professionals committed to strengthening health systems. To be eligible for the U.S. Leadership Accelerator, applicants must be between the ages of 21 and 30 by September 1, 2025. They must currently reside full-time in the United States and be legally authorized to work there. Eligible candidates should be employed full-time in a non-clinical public health role that focuses on U.S. health systems, and must have been in their current position for at least six months at the time of application. There are no formal educational or professional training requirements, as the program welcomes a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds. Global Health Corps particularly encourages applications from individuals who bring underrepresented perspectives or lived experiences related to health inequities and who are working in areas such as community health, public health communications, environmental and behavioral health, health IT, or government health programs.
