Through discussions, field exposure, reflective learning, and collaborative activities, participants engage with questions around
work and livelihoods,
growth and development,

Seriousness of purpose, not academic standing
Fellows are chosen for the quality of their curiosity and their willingness to be changed by a year of close thinking. Degrees, grades, and institutions are not the criteria.
The cohort is deliberately small. Fellows learn as much from each other as from mentors — which means the community you enter is itself part of what you are signing up for. We select for people who will take that seriously.
