United States: 2021-2022 Community Leadership Institute Fellowship Program

The Browning Kimball Foundation: Grant Program in the US

Deadline: 16-May-21

Are you interested in becoming a Community Leadership Institute fellow? If yes, then this 2021-2022 Community Leadership Institute (CLI) fellowship program is for you!

Puget Sound Sage and Sage Leaders’ Community Leadership Institute (CLI) is a fellowship program that resources, educates, and places emerging leaders from communities of color and low-income communities to serve on strategic municipal boards and commissions.
Launched in 2015, the six-month fellowship trains emerging leaders in issues such as housing, land use, transit, climate, and economic development. Graduates learn the nuts and bolts of local government processes, such as municipal budgeting, parliamentary procedures, and lawmaking, as well as advocacy, storytelling, and communication skills.
After graduation, the fellows apply for and are placed on strategic boards, commissions, and task forces at the city and county level. Through participation, CLI alums have the opportunity to move forward a racial equity agenda at a government level by asking critical questions about who benefits and who is burdened by policy decisions and offering solutions that integrate community participation and perspectives as part of the decision-making process.
