Grants & Fellowships

  • Diversity in Leadership
    For leaders of color, by leaders of color. Borne out of work that began in 2017 to address issues of representation, equity and inclusion, the Diversity in Leadership Institute recognizes these results do not speak to the ability of Black and Latinx students. Instead, they highlight the collective failure of the system to meet the needs of our students.
    With this in mind, the DLI is dedicated to increasing racial diversity, equity, inclusion and cultural competence among charter school and district administrators as a means to increase academic and social outcomes for Black and Latinx students in California. To learn more about this 100% tuition-free fellowship, visit https://www.diversityinleadership.org/.
  • Latinos for Education
    Latinos for Education is leading a coalition of Latino educators to increase access and more equitable pathways for Latino children. Two of their fellowships are open to teachers in the California Bay Area. Latinos for Education’s Aspiring Latino Leaders Fellowship (ALLF) identifies, develops, and supports Latino leaders working in education. They provide leadership development training and content focused on Latino educational experiences to best position fellows for personal and professional growth opportunities. The Latinx Teachers’ Fellowship (LTF) will provide a national cohort of 50-75 Latinx K-12 teachers with a learning network of peers and the tools to collaboratively prepare to maintain and improve the skills needed to serve large ELL populations during the re-entry process. The goal is to equip Latinx teachers to navigate the increased demands of a post-pandemic education system and improve their likelihood of progressing in their careers as teacher leaders into the next school year and beyond.
