Rise 25 is a fully virtual program building a powerful network of emerging leaders (ages 18–28).
Throughout the two-year program, fellows learn how to combine authentic storytelling with strategic digital content to advance progressive values—no matter where they are located.
Through this fellowship, on-the-ground organizers gain tools to amplify their work online, challenge misinformation in their communities, and drive meaningful change across digital platforms and their existing grassroots networks.
"Inspire young people to embody pride, confidence, and fearlessness. I wish I had, as a student, dismantled oppression and elevated the voices of the marginalized."
"I want to leave a world where more people feel powerful, informed, and unafraid to use their voice."
"I want to help build a society where all people, regardless of their background, feel respected, included, and proud to call America home."
At this time, the Rise 25 Fellowship is invite-only. If you are recommended to Rise via a partner organization and are selected to participate in our inaugural Rise 25 Fellowship, you will receive an official application in the coming weeks. Thank you for your interest! Stay tuned for additional opportunities to work with Rise.
Invest in emerging leaders today. Every donation helps Rise 25 fellows gain the skills they need to amplify their voices, challenge misinformation, and inspire action nationwide.
