2024 summer organizing fellowship
General Fellowship Information:
The Loud Light 2024 Summer Community Organizing Fellowship is a deep community organizing and local power training program for young people and individuals with a passion for social change who want to learn how they can work to impact issues that matter to them. Fellows will learn how to tell their story as a tool for social change and how to adjust that story for various political actions and audiences; such as community organizing, grassroots lobbying, and engaging with local media.
By telling our own stories, we can show real examples of the impact of public policy in our communities. Fellows will learn how to have values-based political discussions that move people to action. By focusing on experiences and shared values, we will invest in individual leaders and in building community power.
