Fellowship

Fellowship

The Fellowship will be demanding and dynamic, intense, and (at times) unpredictable. That’s the point!  We hope it will also be the formative learning experience of your life. 

This isn’t for everyone. It’s designed for those ready to learn from the world, wrestle with life’s deep questions, and build an authentic community. You'll emerge prepared to shape a future full of possibility— for yourself and generations to come.

Timeline

While you’ll design your journey and choose where you travel, you’re never alone. Our coaches and previous Fellows help you navigate decisions, and our framework keeps the cohort connected through shared milestones — even as you each explore different corners of the world.

The most transformative part of this journey has been learning to be the pilot of my own life. Instead of following the same path put in place by others, I am learning to craft my own. I’m learning to fly!

Commitment & Community

This is more than funding—it's a Fellowship that asks for your full engagement in travel, growth, and community. Every Fellow both gives and receives.

While Fellows travel to different destinations, you stay closely connected by:

  • Hosting and joining weekly online gatherings

  • Initiating projects that enrich our community

  • Supporting other Fellows through their highs and lows 

  • Meeting with coaches and past Fellows for mentorship

This community inspires me to be bolder and more intentional and true to myself every day.
