Together Toward Equity Fellowship

Overview

The Public Health Institute is launching the Together Toward Equity Fellowship to strengthen community leadership and organizational impact. The Fellowship will create a dynamic pathway to invest in our shared goal of an effective, sustainable and equity focused public health infrastructure for the future. What sets the Together Toward Equity Fellowship apart from other programs is our focus, investment, and commitment to community-based organizations and emerging leaders.

The Together Toward Equity Fellowship forges a pathway for Fellows to grow within and with community organizations through coaching, capacity building activities, access to subject matter experts, project-based leadership, and peer networking. To provide additional support and benefits to organizations, the Fellowship includes peer-engagement, skills-building, and organizational support for each organization represented in the Fellowship. This includes, but is not limited to, access to virtual trainings and online self-guided learning.

Fellows in the inaugural cohort (October 2023) will be selected from the CBOs engaged in PHI’s Together Toward Health (TTH) network that championed the importance of community-rooted organizations to stop the spread of COVID-19 in California’s most impacted communities.

  • Receive coaching from experts in the field

  • Attend three in-person convenings

  • Advance a project that elevates their leadership skills

  • Meet twice a month as a cohort learning together

Organizations will:

  • Access capacity building opportunities

  • Connect through peer-engagement
