Lead for America is searching for organizations to host American Connection Corps fellows for the upcoming cohort. There is a specific component to this program that focuses on digital equity, so please consider having a Lead for America Fellow join your team! Fellows can be utilized for not just outreach; but grant writing, creating classes, facilitating meetings or programs, or providing direct service such as helping to facilitate getting people into the ACP.
American Connection Corps host organizations must be a 501c(3) nonprofit organization, a local, tribal, or state government entity, or a faith-based organization focused on non-religious activity. Below are a few examples:
- State Broadband Offices
- Local Governments / Agencies
- Non-Profits
All ACC members are AmeriCorps members who commit to giving a year of their lives to national service.
The deadline is April 21st: https://leadforamerica.pinpointhq.com/postings/ba12272e-7bd6-4e30-a164-19403c76e00b
