Fall Emerging Leaders Fellowship Program

Looking for a real world, hands-on post-graduate opportunity? Apply to be an Emerging Leaders fellow

Net Impact is looking for bright and enthusiastic recent graduates to help us change the world as Net Impact Emerging Leader fellows.

Why you should be a Net Impact Emerging Leaders Fellow…

As an Emerging Leaders fellow, you’ll get hands-on experience based in our Oakland, CA headquarters and access to a dedicated network of professionals, which will help you:

·       Develop critical business and communication skills you won’t learn in a classroom

·       Launch a career in socially responsible/sustainable business, nonprofit management, or social entrepreneurship

·       Build a network of contacts and colleagues in a range of sectors and industries

What you’ll get out of your Net Impact Emerging Leaders Fellowship…

As a Net Impact Emerging Leaders fellow, you not only get a chance to make an impact on organizational strategy and day-to-day operations, you also get immediate access to a growing movement of professionals who are creating positive environmental and social change. In addition, Fellows participate in a formal professional development program and will be mentored and managed by a seasoned nonprofit professional who takes your goals seriously.

We’re a fun group who work hard and play hard. While we have high professional expectations, we love to blow off steam together in the office and after work. We’ve been known to throw waffle breakfast hoe-downs, Friday wine-downs, and Pi(e) day celebrations. We’re looking for Fellows who want to take their work experience to the next level, and have fun doing it.

What you’ll do as a Net Impact Emerging Leaders Fellow…

Net Impact Emerging Leaders fellows are integrated members of the team, who work directly with staff, members, sponsors, and the general public. You’ll work in a specific program area that’s interesting to you, where you’ll learn the logistics and nuances of that particular function.  Anticipated needs for the Fall 2017 class will include:

·       Program Fellows will help to mobilize our network of over 100,000 students and young professionals to take action on pressing issues through our programs – from climate change to racial equity. Sample responsibilities include: leading the project management of the social entrepreneurship Pitch Competition culminating at our October conference in Atlanta – from identifying judges, to coordinating communications, to processing submissions, to selecting finalists, to managing logistics and materials; outreaching to get folks to join our climate change program – from developing outreach strategies, to writing blogs, to sourcing and managing leads, to getting folks through the pipeline; and supporting the Programs team as needed – including research, brainstorming, data processing, community management, conference participant coordination and more.

·       Marketing Fellows will be actively involved with developing, writing, and editing communications materials including press releases, web stories, blog posts, e-mails, and social media posts; curating clickable and engaging written and visual content for and helping to manage Net Impact’s social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Snapchat). The Fellow will work on member acquisition and engagement, helping to assess the efficacy of new engagement and retention strategies and strategizing ways to expand Net Impact’s presence.
