OPEN ACCESS FELLOWSHIP

The Open Access Fellowship focuses on increasing Black & Latinx representation within the community development companies that serve their communities. Our premise is that the community development industry concentrates much of its efforts in minority communities across America, yet within the industry, there is gross underrepresentation by Black, Latinx and diverse professionals at all levels. Donations will directly support our program which offers a paid Fellowship for 20 professionals annually to work in the CDFI space. 

Our program consists of three components: Education/ Job Training/ Mentorship

Education is provided by training partners to ensure that fellows are elevated with industry knowledge. 

Job training is provided by various firms that open their organizations to provide paid job experiences. 

Mentorship is provided in a myriad ways to our fellows including organized events such as Fireside Chats and Virtual Networking Days, to expose Fellows to other industry professionals.
