“I think that what’s really unique about AU is not only realizing that Gen. Z organizers deserve to be paid for their labor but also investing in the educational aspects. AU really cares about not just mobilizing a new generation of church-state separation advocates but also making sure they’re informed.”
- Nicole Li, Youth Organizing Fellow 2021-2022

Friend,

Our Youth Organizing Fellowship builds power with emerging youth leaders and advocates like Nicole, and we’re so excited to be recruiting for our next cohort.

I hope you’ll share this email with a young person who might be interested in joining our webinar next Thursday to learn more about the program and how to apply. At the info session they’ll hear from me, AU’s Student Network Manager, as well as PY and Vicki, two of our current Youth Organizing Fellows.

The application for the 2023 cohort of Youth Organizing Fellows closes in just over a month, so we hope young people will join us Thursday to learn more about how to apply!

The Youth Organizing Fellowship is open to any 18-25-year-olds living in the U.S., including its territories. AU will select ten fellows from different backgrounds, with experience on a variety of issues that intersect with the separation of religion and government, and have shared values of religious freedom and equality.

Click here to read more about the program and learn how young people 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.

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. The deadline to apply is 11:59 PM ET on Tuesday, July 5, 2022.

Thank you,

Alicia Johnson
National Organizer and Student Network Manager
