The 1000 MILE SCHOLARS YOUNG LEADERS PROGRAM

Public Allies Chicago will be hosting this fellowship program, which will place more than one dozen leaders of tomorrow in organizations or with campaigns working in the spirit of Dr. King to address disparities and injustice in Chicago communities.  Young leaders aged 17-24 from Chicago area will be invited to apply to be 1000 Mile Scholars and will engage in a rigorous training and learning series alongside working with their respective host organizations. Aside from producing tangible results in the communities and organizations that host scholars, this project will develop 12-15 young leaders who are prepared to take on the difficult realities confronting Chicago.
