Friend,

I’m so excited to announce that the application for AU’s 2022-2023 Youth Organizing Fellowship is now open!

The fellowship is an exciting—and paid—opportunity for emerging activists to grow as leaders, build power with a national cohort of youth organizers, and advocate for religious freedom and the separation of church and state.

Anyone living in the U.S., including its territories, ages 18-25 is invited to apply, so please share this opportunity with young people in your life who are interested in activism and religious freedom. AU will select ten fellows from different backgrounds, with experience on a variety of issues that intersect with separation of religion and government, and have shared values of religious freedom and equality.

Please click here to read more about this exciting program and learn how anyone ages 18-25 can apply today to become an AU Youth Organizing Fellow.

With AU’s support, the Fellows will:

• Plan events and campaigns to mobilize young people in their communities on church-state separation issues.
• Serve as ambassadors for AU and church-state separation.
• Help advance local, state, and federal policies to protect religious freedom for all.

The Fellowship kicks off with a virtual convening in September 2022 and continues over the course of a year. The deadline to apply is 11:59 PM ET on Tuesday, July 5, 2022.

If you know any young people with an interest in defending the separation of church and state, please forward them this email or direct them to au.org/youthfellows. To read about the fellows that make up our current 2021-2022 class, click here!

Americans United is able to provide these opportunities for our movement’s next generation of leaders because of generous supporters like you, friend.

Thank you for all you do.

Forward Together,

Alicia Johnson
National Organizer and Student Network Manager
