Thank you for your interest in the Stoneleigh Emerging Leader Fellowship! As the first step in our process, we ask organizations interested in hosting a Fellow to submit a project abstract.

ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP

The Stoneleigh Emerging Leader Fellowship is a two-year, full-time, hands-on position for early career professionals. Fellows work collaboratively with a host organization and the Stoneleigh Foundation to execute a project that advances the missions of these organizations and enhances Fellows’ professional skills and leadership development. These projects focus on improving policies and practices in youth justice, child welfare, education, and health. The Fellowship provides salary, benefits, and a stipend for professional development. See our Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
