FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
Be the change America needs.
America needs leaders who can bridge divides.
Will you be part of the change?
The Move for America Summer Fellowship is a summer program for emerging leaders to move across the urban / rural divide to live, learn, and serve. Fellows will serve in community-based organizations, build relationships, and learn about their host town. They will participate in professional development sessions, peer mentorship, and complete a capstone project designed to build the skills and habits to bridge divides.
