Operations Intern
Global Health Corps
Global Health Corps (GHC) mobilizes a global community of emerging leaders to build the movement for health equity. GHC believes young leaders with diverse backgrounds and a deep commitment to collaboration, innovation, and social justice are going to revolutionize how the world tackles its toughest health challenges. We strongly believe our GHC community is the new breed of leaders that the world desperately needs.
Through a competitive recruitment process, we identify daring and innovative university graduates and early - to mid-career professionals from around the world and pair them with amazing partner organizations and government agencies in the US, East Africa, and Southern Africa. Our fellows spend a year in their placement devoting their unstoppable energy to making the world a healthier place for all people, everywhere. Whether they are working with a small grassroots organization like HIPS in Washington, DC to ensure sex workers have access to critical health services, or with the Ministry of Health in Zambia researching patient use of HIV testing and counseling, each fellow plays an essential role in the health equity movement.
Fellows come together five times a year for additional training, community building, leadership development, and mentorship to become audacious, resilient, and highly-networked changemakers. Each one of our fellows has the capacity to change the world – and many already are – and we are grateful to work closely with them to amplify their impact. Since its founding in 2009, GHC has supported nearly 600 fellows working at various levels of the health system, across issue areas and across continents, and our community gets stronger every year.

The Internship
The Admissions Team is a part of the Central Operations Team at Global Health Corps and consists of the Vice President of Operations, Admissions and Operations Manager, and Operations Associate. This dynamic team oversees the screening and selection of each class of fellows. Last year, GHC screened over 5,500 applications for 140 fellowship positions. The admissions process begins in January before applications close and ends in June once the fellowship class is confirmed. The application process moves through five rounds, with each round narrowing down the pool of applicants. To make this happen, the Admissions Team works with over 250 GHC community members (staff, interns, fellows and alumni) to review applications and conduct interviews, and liaises with over 65 partner organizations (where fellows will be placed) to finalize the fellowship class. We are a team of people who work really hard and have an amazing time doing it.
GHC seeks a highly detail-oriented, creative problem solver who will work directly with the Operations Associate and Admissions and Operations Manager in the New York City office to coordinate the admissions process for the 2017-2018 fellowship class. The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced environment and will be excited to support and strengthen the Central Operations team. Most importantly, s/he will have the opportunity to own and develop projects while receiving firsthand experience with the day-to-day management of an entrepreneurial non-profit.
