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.
