We are excited to announce the launch of the Just Leader Fellowship, formerly known as the Racial Justice Fellowship.
The Just Leader Fellowship is a 8-month opportunity for QTBIPOC folks (ages 18-30) working to close the racial wealth gap by advancing community ownership in food and land systems.
Young QTBIPOC leaders will have fiscal and technical support in crafting a food and land justice project. This fellowship is designed to develop political education, project management, and leadership skills at the pace of the fellows’ genius.
In alignment with our mission at CoFED, we designed this fellowship specifically for emerging leaders in the food and land justice systems. Often people the ages of 18-30 do not have equitable access to training, education, and resources that could amplify their cooperative efforts.
Throughout the fellowship, the fellows will receive a $10,800 stipend, a full scholarship to our Build, Unlearn, Decolonize program, an extensive network of various cooperative experts, a professional development budget, and robust and intentional project development education/skills.
REGIONAL FOCUS
This year we are deepening the work of food & land stewards in the Southeast region (AR, LA, MS, AL, GA, FL, TN, SC, NC, KY, WV, VA). We dream of cultivating a regional support network and are looking for folks in alignment with that vision.
Our ideal applicant is excited by their dreams of land and food liberation, is ready to develop their skills to reshape food and land justice in their communities, and is in a season where they can commit to monthly Zoom meetings, a 5 day in-person gathering (BUD) and two in person cohort meetings.
