Who are our John Smith Trust Fellows?
John Smith Trust Fellows are emerging leaders and exceptional individuals. They are united by their commitment to the principles of good governance, the rule of law and social justice and making a positive contribution to their societies.
The John Smith Trust (JST) is proud of the role we are privileged to play in supporting our Fellows’ personal and professional development. Those who successfully complete the JST Fellowship Programme become part of the distinguished network of JST Alumni of over 500 Fellows . As JST Fellows rise to positions of national and international impact, they leverage the friendships and invaluable professional contacts cultivated during their time in the UK and their subsequent connections across the JST Alumni Network.
