Fellowship Overview
The Technology & Digital Infrastructure Fellowship is a leadership-track internship designed for individuals who want hands-on experience building real-world systems within a growing nonprofit.
This is not a shadowing position. Fellows will actively participate in designing, organizing, improving, and protecting our digital ecosystem.
Because infrastructure takes time and continuity, we strongly prefer a one-year commitment to allow Fellows to build, implement, and refine systems effectively.
