Applications are now open for the Change Maker Fellowship
CHANGE-MAKERS FELLOWS
The Change-Makers Fellows is a cohort of students who have interests and involvement with systemic change making organizations. The James Lawson Institute provides students with opportunities to learn about the practice of nonviolent direct action as embodied by Rev. James Lawson and his collaborators. The fellowship will aide students in acquiring principles and strategies necessary to become change agents within their communities, organizations, congregations, etc. in a sustainable nonviolent way.
Through monthly cohort seminars, skill-based workshops, and engagement with community organizations, Fellows will:
- Study the history and theory of nonviolent movements
- Examine case studies from past and present struggles for justice
- Develop strategic and organizational skills rooted in nonviolent philosophy
- Build community with peers committed to disciplined social transformation
- Receive a $1000 stipend at the end of the fall and spring semesters
