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 As the USP Disability Rights and Inclusion Fellow, you’ll be integral to our work in helping vulnerable children achieve a brighter future. You will provide technical support to advance disability rights and inclusion across Save the Children's US Programs, which serve children and families in under-resourced rural communities through early childhood development, school-age learning, nutrition, and emergency preparedness and response. Working alongside teams across Program Quality and Impact, MERL, State Implementation, and Head Start, you will help mainstream disability inclusion into existing programs while identifying opportunities for targeted, disability-specific approaches. Your work spanning research and evaluation, technical guidance, partnerships with disability-led organizations, and resource mobilization will help ensure that children with disabilities have equitable access to the programs and support they need to thrive. This opportunity is made possible through the David Guyer Fellowship. Location Remote – United States What You’ll Be Doing (Essential Duties) <h6>*not inclusive of all role responsibilities.
