The FAO Schwarz Fellowship in social impact provides graduating seniors interested in careers in social change opportunities to develop their leadership potential and professional skills.
Fellowship positions are paid, two-year experiences working at leading nonprofit organizations in Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia both in direct service roles and in leading key program initiatives.
In addition to salary and benefits, Fellowships include professional development, retreats, mentoring, and cohort experiences. Six or seven new Fellowship positions are typically available each year.
Hosts are announced in early fall. Applications for the next cohort open November 1 and are due February 1 – but it’s recommended that you prepare your application carefully over Winter Break and get it submitted as early in the new year as possible, as host organizations may have more time to review individual applications before the bulk of them arrive at the deadline.
The Fellowship offers info sessions online throughout the year for interested candidates – sign up at their webinar page!
Although there is no Carleton process related to the FAO Schwarz Fellowship program, you may consult with Marynel Ryan Van Zee, Carleton’s Director of Student Fellowships, for assistance with your application.
