Global Mission Fellows 2026 Cohort - Applications Now Open
Global Mission Fellows (GMF) is a two-year program for young adults (ages 20-30).
Partnering with community organisations, fellows learn while they serve, helping those in need while furthering their own professional development in a cohort of likeminded young adults. In a context outside of their home country, they serve in a variety of roles based on their skills and the needs of the placement site. Engaging with global social issues like migration, health access and education, to name a few, changes fellows’ perspectives and prepares them to serve more effectively wherever their journey takes them next.
Young adults are invited to engage with local communities, connect the church in mission, and grow in personal and social holiness.
The programme is run by the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church but young people from within the Methodist Church in Britain are encouraged to apply.
Who can apply?
- Young adults between the ages of 20 to 30 in the year that service begins
- Hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience
- Able to communicate in English at a conversational proficiency level
- Have a valid, unexpired passport
- Committed to two years of service
- Willing to live and serve in solidarity with others
- Dedicated to addressing the root causes of injustice
- Called to put their Christian faith into action
