You can now apply to work for former president Barack Obama

This is not a drill. We repeat this is not a drill.

Whether you've dreamt of a career in politics, hoping to someday make a significant difference in your community, or are just a big fan of Barack Obama, look no further, because a select group of 20 applicants will now have the opportunity to work alongside the former commander in chief.

Last week, the former president took to Instagram to encourage politically-minded individuals to apply to his Obama Foundation Fellowship Program.

The two-year program seeks to help future leaders work through hot public issues in innovative ways, with governmental institutions and beyond traditional establishments.

‘When I left office, I told you all that the single most important thing I could do would be to help prepare the next generation of leaders to take their own crack at changing the world,’ Obama captioned the post.

He continued: ‘The @ObamaFoundation Fellows program is looking to do just that—train and support civic innovators who are solving problems in their communities in creative and powerful ways. Apply to join our inaugural class of twenty Fellows. http://www.Obama.org/Fellowship.'

And while the fellowship might not take you to the White House, it does promise to open up a wide window of opportunities.

The Obama Foundation website states, ‘Fellows will also participate in four multi-day gatherings where they will collaborate with each other, connect with potential partners, and collectively push their work forward. Throughout the program, each Fellow will pursue a personalised plan to leverage Fellowship resources to take their work to the next level.’
