The Program

Launched in June 2019, the NBCDI Policy Fellowship elevates and accelerates Black leaders to ensure leadership at the national level more closely reflects the young children that are being served in education, health, and social service systems. NBCDI’s commitment to equity in education and to supporting the health and wellbeing of Black children and families is the impetus for this Policy Fellowship.

The Work

For 18 months, the NBCDI Policy Fellows engage in intensive leadership and career development programs that prepare them for senior and executive-level leadership roles in policy and advocacy related to families and children at the national level.

The Results

Each of the Fellows are equipped with new approaches to policy, diverse points of view, and fresh perspectives on increasing racial equity and access to high-quality programs and developing policies that support the overall health and wellbeing of young Black children.
