College and graduate school students are invited to apply to be a Children’s Movement Equity Fellow. Fellows will support the growth of The Children’s Movement by recruiting groups statewide to join our Pro-Kid network and engaging current members to advocate for kids by supporting legislative, regulatory and state budget advocacy efforts. Fellows will gain experience in network development through data-driven on-line recruitment and engagement in policy campaigns, while also learning about how The Children’s Movement supports statewide advocacy. With opportunities to attend meetings with and learn from policy experts about various children’s issues such as health, education and child welfare, this fellowship is an excellent opportunity for individuals interested in establishing and expanding their network with leading child policy experts and learning about public policymaking, outreach, advocacy, communications, and nonprofit organizations.

Fellows will work remotely with a potential for 1-3 in-person meetings during the course of the program. Fellows will work approximately 30 hours per week for 8 weeks (June 13th through August 4th) and will be paid $16 per hour.

Applicants are required to reside in California during the duration of the fellows program.

Application deadline if Friday, February 25, 2022.
