Giffords launched the Courage Fellowship program in 2018 with the goal of empowering young advocates by helping to develop leadership skills and providing opportunities to fight for lifesaving gun safety laws. Over the course of four months, Courage Fellows between the ages of 18 and 22 (undergraduate) work at the heart of the gun violence prevention discussion and engage in an array of activities that focus on advocacy. Applicants should show an interest in politics, community organizing, activism, or volunteerism, and have a strong desire to become (or already are) active in the gun violence prevention movement.
Courage Fellows have the chance to learn from nationally recognized leaders in the gun violence prevention movement, develop and implement a gun violence prevention project in their local community, and meet with legislators to discuss the importance of gun violence prevention efforts. The program will consist of two fly-ins, the first in Austin, Texas, in March 2025 and the second in Washington DC in June 2025. In between the fly-ins, participants will work on a community engagement project of their choosing with the support of Giffords staff and resources.
