Each year, working with an admissions committee of StartingBloc alumni guided by graduate school admissions officers, we select a cadre of emerging leaders to become candidates to the Fellowship program. Once accepted into the Fellowship program, candidates attend one of our Institutes for Social Innovation.

The Institute is a five day transformative experience. During the Institute, Fellows learn about corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, cross sector partnerships and sustainability from leading academics, corporate innovators, social entrepreneurs, activists and government officials.

After successfully completing the Institute for Social Innovation, StartingBloc Fellows enter our alumni network. Benefits include access to:

• Job and internship opportunities
• Graduate school opportunities
• Continuing education programs
• Business plan mentoring
• An amazing network of diverse, yet like-minded individuals driven to make a difference
