FIND THE CHANGE YOU SEEK.
The Urban Leaders Fellowship is a paid summer fellowship for professionals who come from various backgrounds, professions, ideologies, and experiences with a sincere commitment to transform communities through people and partnerships.
POLICY ADVANCEMENT
Fellows partner with an elected official, spending half their time on a critical policy project. These leaders have a vision for how their city can improve, and you'll work alongside them to make that vision a reality.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
In order to impact real and lasting change, smart policy is not enough. Thus, fellows spend the other half of their time working with an innovative partner organization, from non-profits to tech startups, committed to social justice & community impact.
PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT
We exist to develop and shape the future leaders of our nation. Throughout the fellowship, we will work with you to identify the right career path, connect you with leaders in the field, and provide leadership and career coaching.
“As someone new to policy, I saw this opportunity as a game changer for my work experience and impact especially for someone like myself with a limited background in policy from my career and college experiences. The Urban Leaders Fellowship was the bridge I needed to join relevant policy conversations while also receiving support from my cohort who served as a network of collaborators.”
