The program requires a year-long commitment. It runs from October – June, however opportunities to lead programs are also available during the summer months. Fellows will meet virtually using Zoom on a weekly basis, likely on a Thursday or Friday from 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM. Occasionally Fellows will have the opportunity to attend local and national events and conferences as a group. Events are not mandatory but strongly encouraged. Fellows will also need to attend and participate in quarterly Code Switch Advisory Board team meetings. These meetings are held digitally using the zoom.us meeting space. As a culminating exercise Fellows will help plan, execute, and facilitate workshops at the annual Youth of Color Restorative Practices Mentorship Summit. Finally, we may decide to guide Fellows to co-plan a summer leadership institute for Black Girls culminating in a summer excursion if travel restrictions have been lifted. The institute will likely take place in late June and requires fellows to meet for a five day opening session, which is followed by one extended weekend. A detailed program schedule with all required dates of participation will be provided during the application interview process.
