Dear John,

We are excited to introduce the 23 inaugural members of the Civil Society Fellowship to you and the rest of our ADL community.

Civil Society Fellowship

The Civil Society Fellowship is a partnership of ADL and The Aspen Institute that prepares the next generation of community and civic leaders, activists and problem solvers from across the political spectrum to apply their talent and skills to build a more civil society.

“The fellows will work together in pursuit of broad-based solutions that will help address the challenges created by our divided political landscape.”
Marc Rowan, lead benefactor of Civil Society Fellowship, philanthropist, co-founder of Apollo Global Management

“The more bridges we build with people of different backgrounds, ideologies and experiences, the more we will come to understand our shared humanity and find ways to work collaboratively to move our communities, country and world forward.”
Jenifer Sarver, Civil Society Fellow & Texas-based conservative communications entrepreneur

“I hope to share the hopes and radical imaginations of this community of freedom fighters and world builders.”
Marlon Peterson, Civil Society Fellow & NY-based advocate for criminal justice reform

Each Fellow is also launching a Leadership Venture, tackling a societal problem of their choosing that will stretch them and have a positive impact on their communities, their country or the world.

We are inspired by the dedication of this talented gathering of young leaders, and we know that their mosaic of backgrounds — which spans geography, political ideology, religion, sexual orientation, age and profession — provides a diversity of experiences and knowledge that will ensure the program has a tremendous impact in the coming years. We will launch a new cohort annually.

We invite you to come to civilsocietyfellowship.org to meet the inaugural Civil Society Fellows, and to learn more about this important new program.

Thank you,
