AP began recruiting graduate students to volunteer with partner organizations in 2003. In the years since, 198 Peace Fellows have served in 39 countries (below). Fellows are at the heart of our program. They allow AP to work around the world, and their skills and commitment are highly valued by community-based advocates. Most Fellows serve for three months and continue to promote the work of their host after they return at their university or to local schools. A small number are on long-term assignments (below). The fellowship experience is intended to build skills and enhance career prospects, and AP measures these impacts carefully. All Fellows are expected to complete two evaluations, after training and on return home.
