CREATE IMPACT: Long-term Placement in Education

Fellows serve a 10-month placement within a leading education organization. You’re matched with a project to advance data leadership or another strategic priority — where the skills and experience you bring can make the biggest impact, and where we believe you can grow and contribute beyond your role. We prioritize placements in data & analytics and strategic project management. Fellows are managed by an invested supervisor, and directly embedded within a team and organization.

BUILD COMMUNITY: Connections for Life

When we ask our Alumni what was the most meaningful aspect of their Fellowship experience, the answer always starts with the connections they made to other EP Fellows and the network they gained. As an Impact Fellow, you will join a diverse and dynamic cohort of peers that you will build deep relationships with and who will become part of your professional community. Through programming, peer learning communities, and other opportunities, you will work to get to know and support each other in your own placement experiences.

At the same time, you will gain exposure to our 4,500+ strong Alumni network, who work to make an impact for students and their communities nationwide. Our Alumni will serve as mentors, guest speakers, and even support your onramp into the Alumni network once the programs comes to an end. They hail from diverse personal and professional backgrounds, just like you and your cohort! As an EP Fellow, you'll gain access to this network of new and established leaders who will continue to inspire and sustain you in the program and beyond.
