Framework
The curriculum is broken into six units and the fellows will spend about two months on each unit. The last session will entail reflection and cultivating their new knowledge into a framework to continue their organizing and activist goals after the fellowship has ended. For the first six sessions, the curriculum is split between enrichment and self-study. That is, each session focuses on a specific organizing method paired with a theme revolving around self-evaluation to work on being the best forms of ourselves we can be. The fellows will participate in two or three engagements that compliment the topic of each session (readings, movies, trainings, art etc.)
This is a paid fellowship and each fellow will receive $1,000.
Commitments & Expectations
- Participate in approximately 200 hours of leadership development (in-person meetings 2x/month)
- Attend 2 mandatory enrichment retreats (beginning and end of fellowship retreat)
- A deep commitment to the completion of this fellowship
