Fellows

If you are a young Indian changemaker and want to take time out to learn, explore, and refresh your plans, then The Goa School is for you.

The next five-day immersion program will be announced shortly. It will be followed by a year of mentorship (at your home location, either in person or online).

If you are applying under The Amy Daga Memorial Fellowship programme, please also visit www.thegoaschool.org/amy

Why join The Goa School as a Fellow?

  • Meet someone from another walk of life, or even another part of the globe. Borrow their brain. Get their advice.
  • Benefit from the thoughts and ideas of several handpicked mentors to help you along your own path – one of whom will be your dedicated mentor for an entire year. 
  • Learn a new skill. Make plans. Reflect upon your life, and who you want to be.
  • Grow your network. Make friends. Build supportive, sustainable communities.
  • Become a Fellow of The Goa School. Get a certificate or a recommendation for a future job or passion project. Showcase your projects. 
  • Learn in a beautiful environment. Experience Goa — or another beautiful Indian location when The Goa School program is held offsite. 

What qualifies you to become a Fellow at The Goa School?

Madhuri Dass Woudenberg is Founder-Director of The Goa School. Here she talks about what qualifies you to become a Fellow at The Goa School.

This is roughly how things will go if you are interested….

  • You apply to become a Fellow at The Goa School by filling out this form. You are probably aged 21-29 years (although if a little older, we don’t care so much).
