Why should you apply?
Rekindle’s goal is to invest in leaders from the Black and Jewish communities, helping them advance their own knowledge and skills while giving them new resources and connections along the way. If you already know where you want to focus, Rekindle will accelerate your work by connecting you with other like-minded Fellows. If you’re not sure what to do next, Rekindle will connect you with tangible opportunities to make a difference - and new friends to help you on your journey. Regardless of where you’re coming from or where you want to go next, Rekindle will connect you to a new and dynamic community, challenge you, expand your worldview, and rekindle your passion for leadership and social justice.
Who should apply? What are you looking for in a Rekindle Fellow?
We are looking for people who are passionate about making social change, are looking for new allies and partners, and have already begun the work of exploring racial injustice. Whether you’ve read a handful of books, attended a Racial Equity Institute (REI) training, or watched movies on the topic, we want you to come in with significant background knowledge. For those who have started their racial equity journey, Rekindle will be an excellent way to share your projects and ideas with like-minded future partners in action.
In short, we want you to show us that you’re a changemaker, whether formally or informally; that you’ve started your racial justice journey; that you bring a new, different, or unique perspective to our cohort; and that you will make the most of this opportunity.
What are the dates?
The Commitments page has the latest information. Seminars are always three hours long, with five sessions per cohort.
If this cohort’s dates don’t work for you, join our email list and we’ll let you know as soon as the next cohort’s dates are announced.
Is there a cost to apply or participate?
No, there is no cost to apply or for Fellows to participate, but we ask for a contribution of any size after you’ve experienced the Fellowship. This “pay it forward” model ensures that future Fellows can share your experience. Plus, we provide expert moderation and a tasty meal at every session!
