Accelerator Fellows

Learn, Grow, and Accelerate Your Social Impact Initiative

Do you have an idea that could change someone’s life? Are you working on a Do Good project or social venture that could benefit from coaching, programming, and/or financial support? You could spend a semester (or two!) exploring, testing, or scaling up your project or venture.

During the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters, we offer 8-9-week Fellowship programs, designed to support students where they need it most, as they work diligently to increase their community impact. The Fellows program provides students the space, resources, and opportunities to explore, test, and scale up their initiative. The ideal student for this program is one who is in the implementation phase.

Each week, students will spend time participating in 1:1 coaching sessions with field experts, engaging in workshops that provide insights to valuable tools and resources, and immersing themselves in group activities with their peers who are also tackling a variety of social issues.

2021 - 2022 Fellows Program 

The Do Good Accelerator Fellows program consists of an 8-week program. Fellows will be required to work 5 hours each week at the Accelerator. To achieve maximum benefit from the program, it is suggested that Fellows allocate a total of 10 hours per week to work on their project. Fall Fellows will receive a $1,500 stipend during their fellowship. Up to 10 Fellows will be admitted into each cohort.
