changemakers fellowship

In this paid, month-long apprenticeship program, scholars complete 2 hours of daily professional development workshops for one month and are placed with local entrepreneurs and professionals to engage in 8–12 hours of hands-on work experience weekly. The local entrepreneurs span careers in public health and medicine, agriculture, entrepreneurship, law and education, and business and food service — each committed to training fellows two to three times per week. In addition to personalized mentorship, each fellow receives a seed microgrant to design and launch a community improvement project of their own. Scholars will receive ongoing mentorship for the year following their monthlong internship.
