RISING LEADERS FELLOWSHIP (http://www.teachforamerica.org/rising-leaders-fellowship)
WHAT?
The Rising Leaders Fellowship is a diverse, national coalition of over 100 student leaders working to expand educational opportunity. Over 12 months, each fellow designs and leads a high-impact project, builds a team among their peers, collaborates with a local mentor, and attends a national training forum, the Rising Leaders Summit - all while drawing energy and inspiration from a national network of fellows and fellowship alumni.
The fellowship includes students from across the country, and ultimately, my role will be to connect the fellow(s) with people and resources who can help them realize their project.
WHO?
I’m looking for students (ideally rising sophomores or juniors) with a desire to grow their leadership skills and a concrete idea of how they’d like to expand educational opportunities on campus or in the community.
