About the Nexus Fellowship
The Nexus Fellowship is designed for senior social change leaders committed to building and sustaining equitable, anti-racist workplaces to advance principles and practices that celebrate, uplift, and ensure that all youth thrive. This year鈥檚 fellowship experience, encompassing two in-person retreat weeks and six virtual two-day sessions, kicks off in Denver, Colorado in late October 2024 and culminates in Indianapolis, Indiana in May 2025.
Nexus Fellows gain essential leadership skills to advance racial equity within their organizations and communities. They receive personalized coaching, engage in a supportive learning community, and access resources that drive systemic change. The program fosters both strategic thinking and emotional intelligence, while connecting Fellows to a powerful network of equity-focused leaders committed to building a more just society.
