Ford Foundation and Mozilla are excited to announce the open call for
applications 
<https://mozilla-foundation-2.forms.fm/2016-ford-mozilla-open-web-fellows-ho
st-organization-application>  for 2016 host organizations for the Open Web
Fellows Program <https://advocacy.mozilla.org/open-web-fellows/> !
This collaborative program is an international leadership initiative that
brings together the best emerging technology talent and civil society
organizations to advance and protect the open Web. The program provides an
ecosystem for the next generation of open Web advocates to make an early
impact while growing into the capable leaders we need as threats to digital
freedom proliferate.
Specifically, the goals of the Open Web Fellows program are:
* Produce better technical understanding among civil society and government
policy-making bodies.
* Increase public awareness and understanding of Internet policy issues.
* Provide talented individuals with the opportunities to create a healthier,
more trustworthy Web.
* Provide civil society organizations with the capacity and capabilities to
expand their work into new horizons.
* Contribute to building a community of public interest technologists.
Each year, fellows spend 10 months embedded at leading advocacy
organizations to lend their expertise to the field.
