Overview
The ANHD Community Development Graduate Fellowship supports the training and development of emerging community development leaders, while also building the capacity of community development organizations.
Every year, the Fellowship pairs 9 graduate students with 9 neighborhood-based community development corporations/ ANHD members (the Host Organizations) in NYC. The Fellowship provides an immersive experience where Fellows can gain hands-on experience and skill-building in various sectors of the community development field, including affordable housing, economic development, and community planning.
This Fellowship seeks to cultivate and empower emerging practitioners, especially from communities most impacted by housing instability and economic hardship in NYC.
Program Elements Include:
- High-quality training and mentorship at some of NYC’s best community development organizations
- A $20,000 stipend for the ten-month, 20-hour per week Fellowship which runs from September 2025-June 2026
- The opportunity to meet with leaders in New York City’s government, planning, and community development fields
- Access to our Fellow & Alumni Programming and other ANHD trainings and workshops including mixers, career-building information sessions, and other opportunities to connect with this growing community of community development professionals
- Possibility to receive academic credit, in accordance with the policies of the Fellows’ respective academic programs
Please note that the Fellowship may be remote, in-person or a hybrid depending on the state of the COVID-19 pandemic and the needs of the specific project and Host Organization.
