Program description:
The Lazord Fellowship partners are pleased to announce the opening of applications to

and Tunisia, working with over 50 organizations. The fellowship is a yearlong regional program
that includes a chance for the chapters and fellows in Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia to meet all
together twice a year (whether in person, or virtually).* After a competitive recruitment effort,
