We partner teams of 4-5 professionals with local nonprofits to work on a 4-month strategic project. Our fellows apply their professional skills to a challenge their partner is facing, dedicating after-work hours to bring solutions to life.

The goal of these projects is twofold:

1) To provide nonprofits working with populations most affected by socioeconomic inequity with skills and resources they wouldn’t otherwise have access to. 

2) To provide our members, who see inequity around them and want to make a positive difference, with experience practicing solidarity and using their skills to support important work.

We believe in the power of collective action and know that working towards change is so much easier when you do it in community with others! That is why we ask our members to invest time and energy into building relationships with their team members, nonprofit partners, and the wider cohort. We’ll provide you with opportunities, and guidance but you have to put in the work!

We pair learning with action! All project teams participate in 5 in-person workshops. All of our workshops are interactive and give you opportunities to participate in discussions, meet other project teams, and further your learning. Workshop topics include:

• Human Centered Design (Stakeholder Interviewing & Synthesis)

• Identifying our Values

• Systems Change

• Staying involved in social change work

The project fellowship is a 4-month program and you can expect to spend ~3-4 hours a week. Here’s an example of what a week might look like:

• 1.5 hrs: Full Circle Fund Workshop

• 1 hr: Team Meeting

• 1.5 hrs: Project Work
