FELLOWSHIP 101

October 30, 2021

WHAT IS FELLOWSHIP?


At AbilityPool, we are aware of the high potential and energy of our dynamic, enterprising students. The Fellowship program, which we started with this in mind, aims to instill a sense of volunteerism and social responsibility in young people, with approximately 40-50 Fellows from many different cities each term. Fellows are divided into small groups and have the opportunity to develop and implement social responsibility projects that emerge from their original ideas throughout the process. While working on their projects, they also receive a 4-module training package based on volunteering and social entrepreneurship. In this way, we establish the awareness of both developing projects and benefiting the society through trainings in our Fellows. In addition, as the AbilityPool team, we provide support in any matter they want without cooling the contact between us and the Fellows through meetings we hold at regular intervals. At the end of the Fellowship program, which lasts for 4 months, social responsibility projects from our groups are presented to the relevant NGOs and corporates. So, what kind of talents do we expect from our candidates so that they can take part in the Fellowship program.



WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM OUR CANDIDATES?


Of course, our expectation from our Fellows to be recruited is that they devote as much time as they can to fully participate in the program and that they are willing and determined to social responsibility so that they can gladly give this time to the Fellowship.

Apart from that, our friends who apply have a good sense of responsibility, open to development, prone to teamwork, keen on social entrepreneurship and responsibility, have innovative ideas that can solve existing social problems, have the potential to take risks, and have the competencies to continue the program depending on their working principles. It provides an advantage to pass the 2-stage application process easily.




HOW DOES THE ACCEPTANCE AND APPLICATION PROCESS GO?


At the first stage of this process, our candidates submit their applications through our website. After the candidates fill out the application form, which will be opened between the application dates on abilitypool.com, we determine the people who can go to the second stage as a result of long evaluations within the team and contact them. In the last stage, we carefully select our candidates who are eligible to become Fellows for this year by interviewing the people we will include in the program



Our Fellows have the opportunity to develop their soft skills such as respecting and communicating with new ideas and perspectives, and increasing their tendency to teamwork, thanks to meeting with many distinguished people from different circles and being a team in the process. Apart from this, we offer a unique social responsibility experience where they can gain networks and meet different NGOs and institutions, as well as the chance to realize their projects with a sincere team.



If you want to do good to the environment, people and touch their lives while improving yourself, Fellowship is the program for you.

Don't forget to follow us on our social media accounts and chase the application deadlines to be a part of our family!
