Trials

This is a five-week pre-law program that takes place at either Harvard or New York University (they switch off years) to support underrepresented populations in their pursuit of law school and the passing of the LSATs. Throughout these weeks, the students in the program will be able to create custom study plans that allow them to effectively pass the practice LSAT exams that they sit through through their time in the program. In addition, students have the chance to attend lectures and lunches given by professionals in the field that each feature time for specific questions from students. Students are also given opportunities to see law in practice in either New York City or in Boston, depending on the location of the program that year.

Urban Leaders Fellowship

This is a full-time paid fellowship over the course of seven weeks in the summer based in ten major cities around the United States. Fellows have their time divided into two partnerships: one with an elected official and another with a community organization that is committed to social justice and making a lasting impact on the area they are serving. Alongside the elected official, fellows will be able to work on a critical policy project through research, drafting proposals, and engaging in the work that they are proposing. During their partnership with a community organization, the fellow will be volunteering and learning more about the area that they are serving. While all of this work is taking place, the fellowship program will be providing networking opportunities, leadership and career coaching, and more in order to expand each fellow’s experience with the program.
