How it works?

Partnering with Global Voices looks like:

Single

Fellow Sponsorship

Choose to sponsor an individual fellow to attend one of our international forums. This is a focused approach, allowing partners to support specific areas of interest or align with targeted forums. Each sponsored fellow will be named after the sponsoring organisation.

Cohort

Whole Delegation Sponsorship

For a more significant impact, partners can choose to sponsor an entire cohort of delegates for a specific forum, which also includes naming rights for that delegation. This option offers maximum visibility and influence, reflecting a deep commitment to developing Australian leadership.

Annual

Fellowship Sponsorship

The most common form of partnership, this involves sponsoring two fellows, one for each semester, each attending different forums. This model provides ongoing engagement throughout the year and broadens the impact across multiple areas of policy and industry sectors.

Custom

Come to us

Partners can specify criteria for fellowship applicants, such as university faculty, state/territory, or key demographics (CALD, First Nations)

 

Partners can propose new international forums that align with their strategic interests. Launching new forums requires sponsorship for the entire cohort, ensuring feasibility and impact.

Our model

Global Voices is a youth-led and volunteer-driven organisation committed to empowering the next generation of Australian leaders. Our dedicated executive team, comprised of seven passionate volunteers all under the age of 30, operates remotely with minimal overhead costs.

 

This lean approach ensures that the majority of our funding directly supports as many young Australians as possible, providing them with unparalleled opportunities to engage in global dialogues and shape the future.

​

​The fellowship is fully funded for every participant, ensuring comprehensive support for all aspects of their journey—from travel logistics to daily necessities like SIM cards with data.

​

What's included:

​

Preparation of promotional materials, application assessment and Fellow selection, coordination and logistics, pre-departure training and development, delegation management, support in the completion of the Policy Fellowship, and ongoing Fellow Alumni engagement.

​

  • Dedicated Delegation Managers’ stipend

  • All domestic and international travel

  • All domestic and international accommodation

  • All domestic and international ground transport and transfers

  • Comprehensive travel insurance

  • Visas

  • Conference registration or accreditation fees

  • Daily breakfast

  • SIM Card with 10GB of data

National GV Scholarships

Expanding impact through partnership

At Global Voices, we're committed to maximising the impact of our fellowships. As a not-for-profit, we have the unique ability to fund additional positions on each delegation. To formalise this benefit, 5% of each partner fee contributes to the GV Scholarship Fund.

​

While it may seem that sponsoring partners are funding another fellowship without direct benefits, our model leverages strong economies of scale.

 

Essentially, the more fellows participate in each delegation, the lower the overhead costs per position. This approach not only allows partners to support an extra young individual in accessing this transformative experience but also ensures - greater value for your investment. Partners thus play a crucial role in expanding the reach of our programs while benefiting from more cost-effective participation rates.
