Description
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. See http://www.urbanleadersfellowship.org/aboutulf We look for applicants who are diverse, in every sense of the word. We bring together a cohort of fellows in each region who come from different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, gender identity and sexual orientation, and have wide-ranging experiences in the topics they've studied, the places they've lived, and the work that they've done. We believe that diversity matters and will bring about better solutions. There are two application rounds: First has a late December deadline, with notification of Status by mid-January; second has an early March deadline, with notification of Status by late March/early April.
The Urban Leaders Fellowship is a full-time paid summer fellowship for professionals who are already leaders in their own right and are looking to accelerate their leadership through fellowship with a focus on policy and practice. Fellows are expected to be available full-time for seven consecutive weeks typically between the hours of 8 am-5 pm. Fellows work half-time on high-level policy projects with an elected official in the afternoons and half-time alongside partner organizations in cities in the mornings across the country.
Urban Leaders work in ten cities: Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Indianapolis, Kansas City, MO, Nashville, New Orleans, Oakland, Tulsa, and Washington, D.C. Our fellowship runs for 7 weeks Monday-Friday, typically during the months of June and July. Please note that these dates are not finalized until early spring as we consult the elected/appointed officials and partnering organizations across our 10 regions to determine the fellowship dates. Please visit the fellowship dates page for additional information.
