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.
North Star Fellowship
The North Star Fellowship is a one or two-year experience for exceptional school leaders to develop and launch new public charter schools for Connecticut families. The Mind Trust is partnering with Latinos for Educational Advocacy and Diversity (LEAD) in Connecticut to manage this fellowship program.
The application for North Star Fellows will open on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 and closes on January 6, 2025.
Emerging Leaders Fellowship
The Emerging Leaders Fellowship is a three-year fellowship for leaders who are eager to expand their impact on Indianapolis 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. The application for cohort 3 will open on December 2, 2024.
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.
