What is Equity Leaders Fellowship?
The Equity Leaders Fellowship draws on the expertise of New Hampshire leaders of color to train a cohort of community leaders to make a positive impact on important community issues.
During this nine month program, Fellows will build critical skills to take leadership positions on community committees, boards of directors and other state and local civic engagement opportunities.
We develop cohorts of leaders from communities of color to take leadership positions on community committees, boards of directors, and other state & local civic engagement opportunities. Drawing on the expertise of New Hampshire's leaders of color, the Fellows develop concrete leadership skills and a deep understanding of an equity framework. The overall goal of this initiative is to build capacity for collective impact around priority issues for communities of color.

There is NO cost for participating in the program and all program materials will be provided to participants. However, Fellows will be expected to be able to travel to workshops and may need to secure early release from work on Friday workshop days. Depending on the time of day, Fellows may be asked to bring a brown bag meal to workshops.

****The next cohort of FELLOWS in the Equity Leaders Fellowship will happen in Fall 2020!

Here are some comments from Fellows!
“I now feel like I’ve found my tribe! The Equity Leaders Fellowship has changed me by introducing me to friends and colleagues that are like-minded and share the same values.”
“It has changed me in a significant way: Before I used to oscillate between denying racism/eurocentrism (blissful ignorance) OR being completely paranoid and blaming too many things on my status as an immigrant. Now I have a much more balanced and thoughtful perspective, as well as tools for identifying racism and managing that. I also have compassion, because I realized that for the most part people have no idea they are being racist/xenophobic, etc. I see myself as someone who can educate the White majority.”
