BENEFITS OF JOINING
THE COMMUNITY

Most young people are told that changing the world isn’t a sustainable career. Too often, our brightest youth choose career paths that are misaligned with their passions and the health of their communities. We are building a community of young civic innovators eager to lead social impact projects right now. Once a fellow graduates from a CU program, they join our Community where they gain access to funding, learning opportunities, and a home to experiment, fail, and create.
