Applications are open for the Wayne and Theresa Embry Fellowship 2022. The Fellowship will provide two Canadians the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in a professional basketball operations environment.
The Raptors commit to providing at least one of the fellowship opportunities to an individual who identifies as part of a marginalized and/or racialized group. The fellowship consists of rotations to provide growth of knowledge and experience in all facets of an NBA basketball team. These include: coaching, scouting, team services, player development, medical, financial, equipment, travel and G-League. Each rotation will include a mentor and specific responsibilities in order to learn the role that each department plays within an NBA organization.
Benefits

- The fellow will begin after the NBA draft and prior to start of 2021-22 season and receive a $35,000 CAD stipend which will be paid out semi-monthly.
Eligibility
- The Toronto Raptors are looking for individuals who, like Wayne & Theresa Embry, demonstrate a commitment to social impact and the game of basketball.
