Franklin Fellows Program-US Dept. of State - President Obama has stated that “government does not have all the answers, and…public officials need to draw on what citizens know.” Therefore, he directed the Administration “to find new ways of tapping the knowledge and experience of ordinary Americans – scientists and civic leaders, educators and entrepreneurs – because the way to solve the problems of our time…is by involving the American people in shaping the policies that affect their lives.” Since the end of the Cold War, the range and complexity of issues facing Americans and the larger international community have grown exponentially. In order to strengthen its ability to deal with this plethora of issues and to involve Americans in creating the policies to
confront them, the Department of State created the Franklin Fellows Program. This program provides unique opportunities for professionals with a minimum of five years of relevant experience to serve a detail or sabbatical year as Franklin Fellows at the Department of State. The goal of the program is for Fellows, serving as consultants, to provide valuable and pertinent advice, views, opinions, alternatives or recommendations on foreign policy issues facing the nation.
