Deadline: October 31, 2023
Applications are open for the RESULTS Organizing and Advocacy Fellowship 2024. The RESULTS Fellowship seeks to inspire and train advocates in the movement to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty.
The Fellowship is an opportunity for young adults to broaden their experience and knowledge in the operations and organization of Congress while advocating on key poverty issues, like global health and affordable housing. RESULTS provides training and support to speak powerfully, engage with the media, advocate directly to members of Congress, and mobilize your community. RESULTS has proven over the past 43 years that when people like you use their voices effectively, we can make progress towards the end of poverty. Come join them to gain skills and meet with members of Congress in DC.
RESULTS is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization whose movement of advocates works together toward equity and the end of poverty. The Fellowship is an 11-month program in which participants develop their leadership skills as they gain hands-on experience through RESULTS advocacy campaigns. Key campaigns in 2024 will include focus on responding to the inequitable fall-out of COVID-19, ending the global tuberculosis epidemic, and tackling the affordable housing crisis.
