Overview
The NPO Fellowship supports field-based training in the United States for professionals committed to social change through the activities of a Japanese nonprofit organization. The program seeks to build long-lasting relationships between fellows and their counterparts in the United States, fostering information exchange between the nonprofit sectors in both countries and global perspectives on the role of civil society in addressing pressing social issues. It is particularly focused on nurturing nonprofit leaders who have the ability to bring new ideas to Japan’s nonprofit sector and lead future collaborative efforts between the United States and Japan. This program, which started in 1998, will discontinue in 2007.
