Generative Fellow
-
Jan. 2015 - Okt. 2015
Through the Generative Fellowship, CoreAlign is supporting and nurturing innovators and a culture of innovation in the movement for reproductive justice. Each fellowship consists of 15-20 people who are working on solving complex problems with innovative strategies, tactics, programs or inquiries in the reproductive health, rights and justice field. These leaders are shifting the way we understand issues, asking critical questions, and testing new ways of engagement. CoreAlign supports Fellows to experiment with new strategies, collaborate with unlikely allies, and apply concepts borrowed from other movements. This Fellowship is for curious, generous and generative people who are willing to lean into risk and explore unusual and fresh ideas.
