Dear ELNYA Members,
Applications are now being accepted for the Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in Public Service!
The fellowship offers a chance for leaders early in careers at nonprofit, government and philanthropic organizations to:
- Deepen your understanding of the public service landscape through discussions with senior leaders in the field;
- Gain a clear assessment of your leadership strengths and style and develop your leadership knowledge and skills;
- Think strategically about and plan for your career based on personal assessments and your unique goals; and
- Build a long-term support network of friends, colleagues and mentors in public service.
The Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in Public Service is a seven-month program for a diverse group of recent college graduates working full-time in public service in New York City.
The program begins in November 2010 and runs through May 2011. Fellowship sessions twice each month offer structured leadership and professional development opportunities to help Fellows define their path in public service. Program elements include:
- Speaker Series: Fellows hear from senior executives across the spectrum of public service organizations. Speakers offer insights into their own career trajectories, guidance on practical strategies for succeeding in public service, and analysis of timely issues and trends.
- Personal Exploration: Fellows engage in workshops that help them explore their strengths, interests and goals, and develop a personalized career plan.
- Fellows Network: One of the most valuable resources and sources of support for fellows as they move through their public service careers is the other extraordinary fellows. From the very beginning of the fellowship, participants have the opportunity to get to know each other through various activities and events. Upon completion of the program, fellows become part of a thriving professional alumni network.
Fellowship Eligibility:
There are no program costs for participants or employers.
To be eligible for the Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in Public Service, you must be working full-time in public service in New York City. (Internships and part-time work don’t meet this requirement.) You may not currently be engaged in another significant fellowship program, and you must commit to attending all fellowship sessions, including a day-long Orientation on November 6, 2010. Please see our Web site for additional details and guidelines. Applications are due by noon on September 14, 2010.
