The Dalai Lama Fellows Program 2022 is now accepting applications. The Dalai Lama Fellows program provides emerging social innovators with a rigorous, interdisciplinary, and deeply contemplative program that reimagines leadership as involving self-awareness, personal sustainability, genuine compassion for others, and the ability to navigate complex systems at multiple levels.
Fellows study methods for developing emotional intelligence, self-care, resilience, empathy, deep listening, and communication skills in order to cultivate systems for human and planetary flourishing for future generations. Each Fellow executes an original field project addressing a local concern over the course of a year, with the help of mentors and coaches, and learns how to interweave their personal change with the transformation of the communities with whom they are engaged. Fellows join a network of LifeLong Fellows after graduation, with whom they engage in mutually beneficial ways while continuing their education.
**Application Deadline:** 1st February 2022

## Benefits of Dalai Lama Fellows Program
Fellows will learn practices for cultivating emotional intelligence, self-care, resilience, empathy, deep listening, and communication skills in order to foster systems for human and planetary flourishing for generations to come.
Over the course of a year, with the support of mentors and coaches, each fellow will implement an original field project addressing a local challenge
## Eligibility Criteria
In order to fulfill the minimum requirements, through the application a candidate must demonstrate:
- Age requirements: 20-36 years old as of Feb 1, 2022 (we added a year of eligibility because we did not select Fellows in 2021; please do not inquire about exceptions to the age range, as this is a firm requirement)
- Fluency in written and spoken English
- Current engagement with or well-articulated plans for a social change project and sustained engagement with the project throughout the fellowship year (NOTE: due to the difficulty of launching a social innovation project from scratch, we give preference to applicants who have ongoing projects, but each year we have selected Fellows who have a concrete vision for a project and plans to launch during the fellowship year, given they have the adequate expertise, resources, and community connections at the time of applying)
- In-depth knowledge of the community and the issue that the project is seeking to address, preferably with at least one year of previous experience working with the community
- Interest in learning and engaging in contemplative practices throughout the year
- Commitment to participating in all dimensions of the program (online learning platform, 1-on-1 coaching calls, group learning calls, etc.)
- We estimate full participation in the fellowship requires about 12 hours per month, not including Fellows’ work on their projects
- Attendance at the Contemplative Leadership Assembly in late July 2022 (DLF will cover all costs for travel, lodging, and meals for the Assembly)
## How to Apply

- Applicant background and overview
