Millennium Fellowship Project: The Development Network

The Development Network offer a Fellowship Program that aims to revolutionize the landscape of social sector engagement by offering a transformative experience to college students. This innovative fellowship seeks to address two critical challenges: the scarcity of quality human capital in organizations working towards social impact and the lack of opportunities for college students to be mentored and gain valuable work experience.

The Problem: Organizations dedicated to driving social change often struggle to attract and retain skilled individuals who possess both passion and expertise. This scarcity of human capital limits their capacity to accelerate impact and scale their initiatives effectively. Simultaneously, countless talented students find themselves at a disadvantage, lacking adequate guidance, exposure, and nurturing during their college years. This results in missed opportunities for their professional growth and involvement in meaningful projects.

The Solution: The Development Network's fellowship program introduces a dynamic solution that fosters a mutually beneficial relationship between talented students and organizations in the social sector. Embracing a holistic approach, the fellowship offers a multi-faceted journey to participants. Beyond merely working with a social sector organization, fellows receive mentorship and guidance from accomplished professionals, including alumni from top business schools and prestigious firms like Uber, KPMG, Bain & Co., and Deloitte.

Throughout the program, fellows work on projects aimed at accelerating the impact of partner organizations, contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and effecting positive change in society.

Measurable goals: Complete 1 pilot cohort and 1 winter cohort - completing projects with 4 organizations in the social sector
