| Clubs and districts have the power to shape the next generation of peacebuilders by recruiting Rotary Peace Fellows and helping them stay involved with Rotary after their studies. Each year, The Rotary Foundation awards up to 50 fellowships for master’s degree programs and 80 for professional certificate programs at the seven Rotary Peace Centers around the world. By supporting a peace fellow, your club or district can engage with the program in meaningful ways. “Through years of being involved in the peace fellowship process, I’m still thrilled and admire the serious and high quality of the candidates who apply to the program,” says Gideon Peiper, Rotary Peace Fellowships subcommittee chair for District 2490. “It’s a wonderful experience to follow this process, developing a personal connection with Rotary members and knowing that peace fellows will have a memorable experience that will contribute to their professional as well as their personal life, all made possible by the tremendous support of Rotary members worldwide.” Districts interview applicants and endorse candidates for consideration by The Rotary Foundation. Clubs can help in these ways:
