Franklin Fellows Program


How Will Franklin Fellows Benefit my Organization?

The Franklin Fellows Program is a unique and innovative executive development vehicle which enables approved organizations to promote public service by their professionals. Your organization’s Franklin Fellow will work on global issues of vital importance to the United States, such as the environment; counterterrorism; human rights; consular matters; political-military affairs; avian influenza , HIV/AIDS and other trans-national diseases; trade, energy and financial policy; and many others. Your Franklin Fellow may work with other government entities, such as the White House, Congress, Defense, Homeland Security, Energy and other Executive Branch departments. He/she will return to the organization with a much-enhanced knowledge of foreign policy issues and government operations and culture. Particularly if your organization has an international focus or does business abroad, the Franklin Fellows Program is an ideal way to position your organization to excel.
