The RESULTS Fellowship helps young leaders find their voice
Every year, a cohort of activists ages 20-35 comes together to form the RESULTS Fellowship. These young 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. Young advocates with lived experience of poverty are especially encouraged to apply. (The application for the 2024 cohort is now OPEN! The application window will last through October 31, 2023.)

RESULTS Fellows at-a-glance:
- Have a passion for creating change and a commitment to anti-oppression
- Ability to commit 3-6 hours per week and join bimonthly Fellowship Webinars, local group meetings, and the monthly RESULTS National Webinar
- Age 20-35 at the start of the Fellowship
- Plans to live in the United States from January to November 2024
- Experience in community activism, school activism, political campaigns, or other anti-poverty or social justice focused activities preferred but not required.
The roots of poverty and systemic oppression are inextricably linked. Our movement seeks to be representative of voices from people of all backgrounds, people who are currently experiencing poverty, or people from communities who historically have been marginalized by oppression.

Rayna’s Story
This fall Senator Sinema has been in the national headlines almost daily as Congress debates the essential recovery package. Her office is getting inundated with calls from lobbyists and activists and journalists from every part of the country. So the first time I met with her staff, I was incredibly nervous, wondering how I was even qualified.
Kazmyn’s Story
The first time I met with a congressional office, I was sitting in my car in the parking lot outside a busy coffee shop and feeling nervous. A few members of my RESULTS group and I were meeting virtually with our senator’s staff, and it was a little overwhelming not knowing what to expect.
