NCRC Announces Fellowship For Equitable Development Cohort For 2024-2025

The National Community Reinvestment Coalition's (NCRC) Fellowship for Equitable Development has launched its 2024-2025 cohort, embedding 29 student fellows with NCRC member organizations around the country.

"Movements have to be sustainable over decades and generations in order to succeed, which is why I'm proud to help foster the next generation of economic justice leaders through our Fellowship for Equitable Development," said Sabrina Terry, NCRC Chief of Programs and Strategic Development. "Our member organizations gain valuable talent, capacity and energy from hosting fellows. And the experience builds skills, knowledge and on-the-ground experience for students who are excited to take on the challenge of building the Just Economy."

The fellowship placements cover a wide range of economic justice and community development organizations working to tackle the significant challenges facing the community development sector over the coming years, from climate change and widening wealth inequality to food insecurity, extreme housing shortages and other needs. Fellows receive a $20,000 stipend across nine months of part-time work for their NCRC member organization.
