Save the Children Action Network Fellow (For Claremont McKenna College Students ONLY)

Save the Children

For over 100 years, Save the Children has been fighting for the rights of children. The right to a healthy start in life. To have access to education. To be in a safe environment, protected from harm. We work in some of the world's hardest-to-reach places - over 100 countries, including the U.S. No matter what your role is, when you join Save the Children, you're creating positive, irreversible change for children, and the future we all share.

The Role

In 2014, Save the Children created an advocacy arm, Save the Children Action Network (SCAN). SCAN works to build bipartisan support to make sure every child has a strong start in life. We're doing this by advocating for high-quality early learning and ending child hunger in the U.S. and educating and protecting kids around the world. As the Save the Children Action Network Fellow, you'll be integral to our work in helping vulnerable children achieve a brighter future.
