The Mind Trust’s Fellowships
With a uniquely supportive policy landscape, highly-collaborative community, and well-resourced supports, The Mind Trust’s Fellows successfully launch equity-focused public schools and join a network of passionate leaders.
Emerging Leaders Fellowship
The Emerging Leaders Fellowship is a three-year fellowship for leaders who are eager to expand their impact on our city’s students. Educators who hold roles like Director of Special Education, Assistant Principal, Multilingual Learners Coordinator, or Dean of Culture are likely a good fit for this fellowship opportunity.
School Launch Fellowship
To help grow high-quality schools in Indianapolis, The Mind Trust invites high-performing charter and innovation school networks to select leaders for the School Launch Fellowship. Fellows are given sufficient planning time and resources to grow or replicate an existing charter school network.
In close collaboration with their network leadership, Fellows will launch a new campus of an existing network or significantly expand the number of students an existing school can serve.
Fellows receive personalized coaching, resources, and training throughout the program, as well as ongoing support once schools are launched. Since 2013, The Mind Trust’s Fellows have launched 28 charter and innovation schools in Indianapolis.
