In 2015 Newman’s Own Foundation launched a 12 month paid Fellowship program to help develop the next generation of leaders in the nonprofit sector and create a more diverse pipeline of talent for this sector. Fellows are placed for a 1-year period at a host nonprofit organization that provide them with hands on experience and gives them exposure to leadership within these organizations. Fellows work on key strategic initiatives at the host organizations and develop a better understanding of the sector. The Fellowship experience is designed to provide young emerging leaders with the skills and experience that will set them on a path of social impact and using their skills and resources to make the world a better place, whether they decide to pursue a career in the for-profit or non-profit sector.
This blog shares our Fellow's stories and their fellowship experience whilst at their host organization, and the communities that surround them.
