The NextGen@ICANN Program provides students with an opportunity to learn about ICANN’s mission and meaningfully contribute to the discussions and decisions that shape the internet.

ICANN’s Fellowship Program creates opportunities for individuals from underserved and underrepresented communities to become active participants in the ICANN community, thereby enhancing multistakeholder governance. Fellows will learn about how ICANN operates, receive mentorship and training, and receive travel support to attend an ICANN public meeting.
