Are you interested in careers in arts management, education, nonprofit management, policy development, or social change?
The Weitz Fellowship provides one-year, full-time jobs for nine Carleton 2026 graduates at nine nonprofit organizations in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska.
Representatives from the Weitz Family Foundation will present a brief overview of the program, including the cohort experience and robust support system for fellows. Then, a member from each organization will provide some insights into their organization’s mission and work. The event will conclude by allowing students to enter breakout rooms with organizations of their choice to learn even more about those organizations.
