Faith-based Diplomacy & Advocacy Initiative

 

The Faith-based Diplomacy & Advocacy Initiative has established yearlong Archdiocesan fellowships at the United Nations. All Orthodox Christian graduate and post-graduate students are invited to apply for this stipend fellowship.

The Faith-based Diplomacy and Advocacy Initiative began in 2015 through a generous grant awarded by The Archbishop Iakovos Leadership 100 Endowment Fund, and is meant to help develop future professionals, diplomats, policy-makers, and advocates by providing them the a framework upon which to exercise their academic training.

Fellows will focus their work at the United Nations in three main areas: 1) Human Rights 2) Environment and 3) Humanitarianism.

Among other activities, fellows will have the opportunity to join and participate in the work of NGO Committees at the United Nations; assist in formulating oral and written Archdiocesan statements and interventions; help plan and host events during ECOSOC Functional Commissions; and participate in panel discussions at future Biennial National Clergy-Laity Congresses.
