The RESULTS Fellowship helps emerging leaders find their voice
Every year, a cohort of activists ages 20-45 comes together to form the RESULTS Fellowship. These emerging leaders spend 11 months growing their advocacy skills to end poverty and oppression. Fellows meet with lawmakers, work with the media, and engage with their communities to affect change. Advocates with lived experience of poverty are especially encouraged to apply. The 2026 RESULTS Fellowship Application is open due to interest in the program. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Interviews will begin in Summer of 2025. The final deadline to apply is November 1, 2025.
The RESULTS Fellowship is a transformational experience.
We are so proud of all the unique ways RESULTS Fellows have influenced a larger movement against poverty and oppression. Fellows learn together about the roots of systemic poverty and oppression, building this knowledge into an activist skillset that propels them forward as lifelong advocates. Fellowship Alumni have gone on to work at the World Bank, engaged with presidential candidates on the campaign trail, founded their own nonprofit organizations, and have been featured in publications like NPR and the New York Times.
