The Greenlining Institute is a national policy, organizing, and leadership institute working
for racial and economic justice. The Greenlining Institute's mission is to empower
communities of color and other disadvantaged groups through multi-ethnic economic and
leadership development, civil rights, and anti-redlining activities.
The Fellowship Program is a year-long training program for young leaders that have
completed, at minimum, their undergraduate degrees by the start of the program. Fellows
are assigned to specific program areas and develop expertise with the direction of a
Program Manager and the Academy Director. Although the curriculum is similar to that of
the Associates program, Fellows are given more responsibility and independence to
implement projects and programs.
Fellows participate in leadership skills workshops, attend meetings with key stakeholders,
and conduct site visits to community, government, and corporate entities. Fellows receive
regular mentorship, professional and personal skill development and are given opportunities
to interact with the media, write reports/press releases, fundraise, testify at policy hearings,
and participate in key meetings with top government officials, corporate CEOs, and political
leaders.
As a Fellow, one works 37.5 hours per week and earns $33,800 per year plus health
benefits.
