Legal Empowerment Fellowships
Throughout the year, Namati seeks current and recently graduated law and graduate students to join our team as fellows, with potential placements in Sierra Leone, India, Myanmar, Mozambique, and the United States (Washington, DC). We are also open to considering proposals for additional projects and will work with applicants to further develop ideas.
Namati’s Fellowships are part or full-time positions requiring a minimum of 12 weeks’ commitment (we are flexible with start dates).
Please note at this time we are only able to accept applications from individuals whose fellowship will be paid for through independent fellowship funding. While we do recognize that interested interns/fellows may approach us during the process of actively applying for external sources of funding, due to the high volume of interest in our opportunities we look for our finalists to demonstrate that they can be resourceful and creative in securing funding and will not make excessive requests of our teams for support.
