Every year, One Million Leaders Asia (OMLAS) seeks out young Asian talent and grants them an OMLAS Fellowship. In addition to receiving two months of instruction in topics like social entrepreneurship, sustainability, social innovation, and transformative leadership, they also receive assistance in carrying out community projects.

Fellows have the opportunity to continue working with young leaders in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) after completing the Fellowship Program by becoming members of the OMLAS Alumni community.

• Format: Online
• Deadline: January 20, 2024
• Announcing Date: February 20, 2024

• Type: Fellowship
• Gender: Any
• Eligible Nations: Asia, Africa, Latin America, and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) (Afghanistan included)

Program Phases:

• Phase One: Fellows’ Intensive Training: The first stage is called Fellows’ Intensive Training, during which a select group of young leaders receive in-depth instruction centered on the OML Fellowship Curriculum’s five pillars. The term “Fellows” refers to these chosen young leaders.
• Phase Two: Leadership Challenge: As they pass on their knowledge and form a team, fellows take on a leadership challenge to engage, motivate, and empower upcoming leaders in their communities. Each Fellow is expected to assemble a team of at least 20 Champions (50 in OMLA), a term they use to refer to this second tier of emerging leaders.
  During this stage, Fellows will lead the training sessions with their Champions and receive a series of Masterclasses on important sustainability topics.
• Phase Three: Act for Change: Together with the team they established in Phase 2, fellows embark on a project implementation phase. After a thorough selection process, fellows will receive micro-grants from NELIS to work on their own projects that address major sustainability challenges in their communities.
  Fellows are free to suggest themes based on the major social and environmental issues they believe face their nation or community.
• Phase Four: Graduation and OML Alumni Community: Upon completion of the Fellowship, all Fellows and Champions will become OML leaders and have the opportunity to become a part of the global OML Alumni Community. They will get access to the networking and empowerment opportunities offered in and through the Alumni Community, as well as assist in connecting, inspiring, and empowering NexGen leaders worldwide.
