Humanity in Action Fellowship

The Humanity in Action Fellowship explores issues of democracy, pluralism, human rights, and social justice. Each program is tailored to its location. Fellows are challenged to understand their host city’s unique history of injustice, its present struggles to encompass groups with minoritized cultures and identities, and the future of its democratic values.


Recipients participate in a funded four-week summer program, and receive funding for a post-fellowship project in their home community. Additionally, fellows have lifelong access to the HIA fellowship network.
