About this opportunity
The Global Frontline Leaders Programme 2027 Cohort is a ten month, fully virtual leadership programme run by the Collaborative on Global Children's Issues at Georgetown University. It brings together a global cohort of MHPSS practitioners, researchers and policymakers who work on mental health and psychosocial support for children and families in conflict, crisis and low resource settings.
Participants join an individual orientation session in January, take part in mentorship and leadership coaching, and close with research collaboration. The cohort compares how mental health support works in each country, including the role of culture, faith and community, and shares promising practices from low and middle income countries.
The programme pays a stipend of $7,500 USD in two installments to support participation. Applications are open through 6 November 2026 and are uploaded through a Google Form linked on the cohort page.
