Forward Seattle's year-long fellowship affords 20 young people the opportunity to grow together into a force for good in our community. In an effort to build skills to implement progressive policies, each weekend of the fellowship will focus on a different topic. We will explore topics such as communications, coalition building, supply chain management, fundraising, crafting policy, legislative advocacy and more. Forward Seattle will cultivate a speakers' bureau of experts in various fields both from Seattle and nationwide.
To give you a sense of the value of the fellowship, here is a sneak peak into what the fellows will experience the first weekend session when we focus on communications and its role in effectively driving change. Specific speakers and experts are to be determined, but the curriculum is the same.
