REACT gives individuals who are interested in a career in international emergency relief an opportunity to increase their

are recruiting five (5) fellows with background and interest in :

 Logistics (2 positions)

The goal of the REACT fellowship is to place Fellows in positions where they can draw on their previous education and work
experience, while broadening their skills in emergency response. While post fellowship deployment is not guaranteed, REACT
fellows are a critical part of our emergency response surge capacity.
