Education Trust Looking For Third Cohort of Justice Fellows
From the Education Trust (https://edtrust.org/)
In 2020, EdTrust launched the Justice Fellows Policy Program, which centers on the lived experiences of formerly incarcerated individuals who have leveraged higher education against the residual consequences of incarceration, by elevating their voices in policy debates about improving higher education for all justice-impacted people in the United States.
I'm excited to announce that we are accepting applications for our third cohort of Justice Policy Fellows!
We are looking for previously incarcerated individuals who have less than five years of professional, entrepreneurial, or community engagement experience, who have a strong desire to gain and develop higher education policy skills, and a passion for providing justice-impacted individuals with access to an equitable education.If this describes you or someone you know, be sure to apply or share with your networks!
