Democracy Fellowship
The Democracy Fellowship is an exclusive, action-oriented opportunity for young progressives ready to build power, create community, and redefine what leadership looks like in 21st-century America. The Democracy Fellowship is Dream for America’s leadership development program, designed to equip emerging student leaders with the tools, strategies, and community they need to organize on college campuses across the country.
After 6 biweekly Zoom calls, prospective chapter leaders will receive hands-on training in grassroots organizing, event planning, campus engagement, and narrative building. These sessions not only provide practical skills, but also foster a collaborative space where students connect with peers, share ideas, and grow as civic change makers.
Whether you're founding a new chapter or stepping into leadership for the first time, the Democracy Institute is your launchpad for driving student-led impact and advancing democratic values where they matter most—on the ground, on campus.
Qualifications:
High school seniors or college students (Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior)
Passionate about reframing and advancing progressive values on a national scale
