The Ministry of Youth Affairs in Sierra Leone is inviting applications for the UGO Fellowship Program 2025.
This fully funded initiative, in collaboration with the Universal Greening Organization (UGO), aims to empower young Sierra Leoneans aged 18 to 32 who are enrolled in sustainability or green economy-related courses for the 2025 academic year.
Eligible applicants must have a minimum average of 65% in their recent academic results and come from previously disadvantaged backgrounds, as supported by an affidavit. Additionally, candidates should have no criminal record and be willing to travel both locally and internationally.
The UGO Fellowship Program features online training and a 7-day international exchange in Botswana, Kenya, Sierra Leone, and South Africa. Interested candidates are required to submit a single PDF file that includes a one-page motivational letter, a certified copy of their National ID (issued within the last three months), their latest academic transcript, an affidavit confirming their disadvantaged background, three reference letters, an updated CV (maximum two pages), a police clearance certificate or proof of application, and a high-resolution passport photo.
Applications should be emailed to fellowship @universalgreening.org with the subject line containing the applicant’s student number. The deadline for submission is June 20, 2025. For more information and to apply directly, candidates can visit www.universalgreening.org.
This initiative represents a significant opportunity for youth in Sierra Leone to gain valuable skills and international experience in the growing field of environmental sustainability.
