Host Organization Applications Now Open For NCRC’s Fellowship For Equitable Development

Fellowship Host application open until Feb 27

Hi Friend,

Today, we launched host applications the fifth year of our transformative Fellowship for Equitable Development program that matches graduate students with esteemed community development organizations.

It offers a unique opportunity for fellows to gain hands-on experience, contribute to innovative projects and kickstart their professional careers in community development. In return, host organizations benefit from the fresh perspectives and talent of these fellows, enabling them to tackle ambitious initiatives they otherwise may not have had the capacity to accomplish.
