Future Leaders Programme
What is it about?
The program inculcates in our fellows a strong sense of social justice and integrity while also producing the kind of effective and innovative change agents who can bring about transformative change in South African society. Underpinning the program is a strong focus on developing the writing and oratory abilities of participants as well as an emphasis on values such as pluralism, justice, equality, integrity, excellence and valor.

Graduates of The ASRI Future Leaders Fellowship Program are anticipated to go on to become influential and prominent leaders in government and civil society, occupying a variety of positions in non-profit organisations; interest groups; policy institutes; media organisations; government and so forth.

More explicitly, the main ambitions of the program are twofold:
To develop individuals who can positively contribute and strengthen civil society &
To develop effective and visionary public servants

The program is non-partisan in nature and is open to all students across the country who are in possession of an undergraduate degree or who will be completing their undergraduate degree before next years program commences in February. Please note that to ensure a diverse group of fellows, demographic information is taken into consideration during the selection process.

The fellowship program is ten months and fellows are required to be in attendance Monday to Thursday from 9am – 3:45pm, at a specific venue in Gauteng Province, from the beginning of February to the end of October. The program will accept 30 individuals for 2022.
