Forge Fellowship

The Forge Fellowship serves as the entry point for students to the Network and a way to honor the legacy of the late Reese Needer—a Network staff member, organizer, mentor, and friend to many Roosevelters. The Forge Fellowship curriculum develops leadership skills, demystifies policy creation, and empowers students to critically engage in progressive policy discussions aligned with Roosevelt Institute issue areas; all while bringing neoliberalism and its alternatives centrally into fellows’ learning. Forge Fellows are paired with a mentor from the Roosevelt alumni community, and receive our professional development curriculum to level up their networking, interviewing, resume-writing, and cover letter skills.

Stipend amount: $2,000
