Dart Center Global Early Childhood Reporting Fellowship

The Dart Center’s second inaugural Global Early Childhood Reporting Fellowship is focused on illuminating issues related to young children’s growth, development, and wellbeing.

Topics may be directly related to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, but they can also concern other current trends and circumstances. Fifteen journalists from around the world will be selected for the fellowship – including print, online, audio, or video-based. Freelancers, contract, and staff journalists are all invited to apply. Applications for projects about children up to age six and their caregivers will be given priority. The Fellowship will run from May to November 2022.

Benefits

  • Each Fellow will be awarded $2,000 USD to use towards reporting a story or project.
