Introduction to Dalai Lama Fellows Program
The Dalai Lama Fellows (DLF) program is a transformative initiative designed for emerging social innovators. This rigorous year-long program emphasizes self-awareness and personal sustainability, teaching participants how to lead with genuine compassion. By fostering emotional intelligence, deep listening, and resilience, fellows are prepared not only for individual growth but also for the challenges of leading transformative projects in their communities.
Program Structure and Community Impact
Throughout the fellowship, each participant undertakes a unique field project that addresses a specific local challenge. With the guidance of mentors and coaches, fellows learn to weave their personal transformation into the broader fabric of community change. This integration of individual and collective progress aims to cultivate systems that promote sustainable human and planetary flourishing for generations to come.
Eligibility and Application Process
The DLF program is open to applicants aged 20-36 who are proficient in English and currently engaged in social change projects. Candidates must demonstrate their familiarity with community issues and their commitment to contemplative practices. Participants can anticipate dedicating around 12 hours each month toward their empowerment journey, engaging actively in all program components, including online learning and group interactions. The deadline to apply is December 3, 2024, and further details about the application process can be found at Dalai Lama Fellows Application.
