Fellowship
Welcome to our community focused on supporting young agents for social justice.
Program Overview
We are tapping into the potential of an extremely underutilized resource of youth energy and leadership to infiltrate our communities with agents skilled in social justice from our training which delivers onboarding to social justice and international travel, international immersion and ambassadorship, and continued personal development opportunities through a year long fellowship.
Fellowship Goals
Moral Guerrilla Foundation is an organization committed to seeing the Invest in Human Potential Fellowship’s vision to creating true agents of social justice being actualized and embodied through our goals:
➤ Equipping fellows with a moral compass for directing social change in their communities
➤ Exposure to international ambassadorship as a vehicle for opportunity building
➤ Empowering young leaders to see and actualize their intrinsic value
Why Pledge2Pledge?
Your one-time support will provide an immersive and cohesive experience for rising high school seniors, utilizing our sustainable grassroots global citizenship model. By supporting the fellowship’s inaugural cohort, you help ensure the continuation of future cohorts of Moral Guerrillas, offering prestigious international travel and educational experiences.
​
These fellows represent untapped potential within their communities, needing empowerment and opportunities to serve. Your contribution helps them become autonomous leaders dedicated to local service.
