The Mercy Mission Fellowship Program is a 9 month full-time experiential learning and exposure program in the social sector space, where Fellows get to experience working with Civil Society Organisations and NGOs across areas such as Livelihood, Health, Slum and Rural Development, Mental Health, Sustainability, etc. helping design and implement effective solutions to pressing challenges at the ground level.
Each component of the Fellowship Program is designed to provide the Fellows with relevant perspectives and competencies to strengthen their foothold in the social sector space and help them understand the essentials of socio-economic transformation.
Through every milestone, there is a reinforcement of sincerity, compassion and gratitude to inculcate a lifelong ethic of service to society.

The MM Fellowship Programme has been designed keeping in mind the diverse opportunities available within the Mercy Mission collective and using it as leverage to provide youth with the necessary skill sets to carve out a career in the social sector and understand the essentials of socio-economic transformation.
This fellowship aims to be a one-year experiential learning, research, and development programme where Fellows will get a deep dive into the inner workings of Mercy Mission and its NGOs in various disciplines of social development. Parallelly focusing on building key skill sets such as Social and Emotional Learning, Leadership, Entrepreneurial and Professional skills, thereby inculcating the lifelong ethic of giving — the Mercy Mission way.
The Fellowship is open to young graduates/postgraduates between the age group of 20-28 years, looking to take a year off and invest in building their Social Competencies.
Candidates having experience volunteering/interning in the social sector space are encouraged to apply.
The first cohort of MMFP commenced in September 2021 and closed in May 2022.
