Description

The Community Fellows Program (CFP) aims to ground emerging nonprofit and community leaders in the systemic context of social change work and develop key management and leadership skills.

BECAUSE REPRESENTATION MATTERS
Built from community organizing values and frameworks, CFP invests in the next generation of high potential, emerging social sector and community leaders. CFP students advance their leadership skills, increase their social capital, and are embedded in a robust professional network to propel their careers forward.

There is no tuition. CFP is a fully-funded, academic-year fellowship engaging leaders poised to meaningfully advance social justice and their leadership and become part of a growing network of change leaders.

It’s more than a class. It’s a community. CFP includes:

• Twice-per-month Management Seminars covering a range of topics in organizational leadership, including social justice and systems change, community organizing, personal brand building, fundraising, networking, developing your leadership narrative, healing and self-care, and much more.
• Monthly Practice Seminar facilitated by Senior Fellows (Meet current faculty here) and conducted in small groups that engage in action-oriented problem-solving regarding specific leadership and management challenges confronted by students and their organizations.
• Overnight retreat that allows for group connection and cohesion and the beginning of Fellows’ exploration of the connection between leadership and achieving community and social justice.
• Intensive exploration of values and discussion of the impact of power and privilege on individuals, the nonprofit and public sectors, and society.
• Access to additional resources through the Institute’s network. This includes learning from other leaders in the sector, current students, alumni, faculty members, community partners, and funders.
