COLLEGE STATION, TX, January 5, 2023 – The International Agricultural Education Fellowship Program (IAEFP) is founded in partnership with AgriCorps, and hosted at the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture. IAEFP is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Foreign Agriculture Service (FAS).
IAEFP trains and supports fellows to work with teachers and community members in developing countries to implement school-based agricultural education (SBAE) and establish youth leadership clubs. Based on a community needs assessments, fellows work to implement relevant and sustainable agricultural projects at each school. The goal of this program is to give youth the opportunity to experiment with agriculture and try new methods in a low-risk environment. Students can then disseminate what they learn in schools to the adults in their communities.

The Ideal Fellow
Ideal IAEFP fellows are motivated individuals with an interest in international agriculture development and education. Fellows will be a class of premiere individuals who strive to be leaders, couples with a passion for agriculture. It is important our fellows know the task ahead of them is not an easy one, but the rewards, personal growth, and experience of this opportunity will play a major role in their future success.
What to expect as a Fellow
Post application, interview, offer, and acceptance to program, fellows will complete a virtual training via Zoom, pre-service training in-person at the Borlaug Institute, and in-service training for the first month of deployment to the country. Fellows will use the AgriCorps training curriculum manual which is based on the integration of four components essential to a successful fellowship experience: interior formation, teaching pedagogy, cultural awareness, and agriculture enhancement. The training workshops will equip fellows with the basic tools needed for success, but more importantly, it will connect them to human resources they can call upon throughout the year as needed.
After moving to assigned communities, fellows will work daily with teachers to integrate SBAE lessons when appropriate. They will be actively engaging in their communities and will implement agricultural projects. Fellows will meet once a month as a group to check-in and assess their progress with a field director or program coordinator. In addition, fellows will be responsible for submitting monthly monitoring and evaluation surveys.
Fellows will be given a monthly stipend, live with a host family within their respective communities, and be given a 2-3 week break halfway through the program to travel back to the U.S. at their own expense. All travel will be reported to the program coordinator or field director. Fellows must abide by established IAEFP travel protocols at all times. It is of utmost important to keep our fellows safe and healthy throughout the program.
