RISING LEADERS FELLOWSHIP

Program Overview

Embolden's Rising Leaders Fellowship is a virtual cohort-based learning program designed to equip high school and early college students with the skills, tools, and networks to pursue their ambitions. Fellows will meet and work with dedicated mentors and peers who will become long-term advocates for their cohort's collective success!

Components

The Rising Leaders Fellowship is a six-month program. The Fellows and the mentors meet once a month for an hour. Each monthly will have 2 key components: 

​

  • Seminar: A 20-minute virtual interactive lesson run by Embolden Board members and cohort leaders 

  • Small Group: A 40-minute virtual gathering with 2 Embolden Mentors and 4-6 Fellows. The Fellows go to their Small Group meeting immediately after the seminar. 

 

During the monthly meetings, the Fellows will have an opportunity to learn key leadership skills, make new friends, build their network, and have the opportunity to apply their learning right away.
