The Change Collective is a national leadership community that trains, connects, and elevates local changemakers — and the 2027 Fellowship application is now open! 🚀

I am thrilled to invite a new generation of leaders from Chicago, IL; Detroit, MI; Jackson, MS; Memphis, TN; and San Antonio, TX to apply to join. These changemakers will gain leadership development, a national network of mentors, and will work together to tackle problems at the community level and reinvent civic life for a new generation.

Local leaders — don’t miss out! Learn more about the program and apply here: http://change-collective.org/apply
