Global Advocates

See what it’s like to be an Advocate on the ground.

If you truly want to get involved with Mama Hope and experience transformational work on the ground in Africa, then the Global Advocate Program could be for you. Global Advocates change lives, and in the process, are forever changed themselves.

The Global Advocate Program, now called the First Fifth Institute, is a competitive, professional training corps that achieves the mission of Mama Hope through first-hand project development. Global Advocates participate in a carefully constructed program that provides instructional career training, real leadership opportunity, hands-on experience, and project management that organizations find so valuable.

The nine month training is built around three, 3 month phases:

  1. US Training and Fundraising
  2. In-Country Field Experience and Project Execution
  3. US Program Management and Evaluation.

For now, we can only accept a handful of Advocates each year. If you think you are the right person for the job, visit the independent website at firstfifth.org or  read the Program Overview
