Writers, researchers, organizers, artists, designers, coders, storytellers, students, dreamers — all welcome. ⭐ What fellows gain - Hands-on experience across programs - Mentorship and collaboration with our leadership team - Opportunities to publish, create, and build portfolio-ready work - A creative, supportive space to explore ideas - Real-world impact on communities + youth-led initiatives If you’re interested, or know someone who might be, we’d love to meet you. https://lnkd.in/gJT5h3gc
