The Ambassador Fellowship assists formerly incarcerated people in cultivating the skills and system-knowledge needed to lead the fight for criminal legal reform. Ambassadors work to combat the dangerous one-sided narrative that influences the way the public responds to criminal legal issues. This paid, eight-month fellowship trains system-impacted people in storytelling, advocacy, and organizing to lead conversations about the harms of mass incarceration and to push for reform.
The ideal candidate would be an individual who poses the following qualities:
The position requires a weekly commitment of 10 hours. The first 6 months of the fellowship will involve weekly training in a hybrid in-person/remote schedule. Over the course of the second stage fellowship, it is our desire that Ambassadors participate in speaking engagements, sharing their story while cultivating their personal advocacy message.
Ambassadors will receive a monthly stipend of $1,000 each month of the program.
