Pathwaves Fellowship Cohort Applications are OPEN (Due June 17th)

Communities who are most impacted by systemic injustices must be represented in positions of power within policy development processes. This is why Pathwaves WA looks for individuals who want to transform the field of Early Childhood Policy in Washington state to join our upcoming 2024-2026 Fellowship.

Each fellow in our program will be employed full-time and placed at one of our placement sites in a policy role (advocacy, community organizing and mobilization, policy and fiscal analysis, policy research, policy-focused communications, policy development, and more).

In addition to working full-time at placement sites, Fellows participate in professional development every week, which includes mentorship, career coaching, training, workshops, and more.

Qualifications

We are looking for Fellowship applicants who:

  • Have a strong desire to impact the field of early childhood policy
  • Reflect the communities most impacted by systemic injustices.   
  • Have strong interpersonal and communication skills
  • Have a growth mindset, are curious and open to new ideas, and have a desire to learn and be challenged
  • Aspire to co-create joyful, reflective space for growth with other BIPOC leaders

Eligibility

We will consider any and all applicants with diverse work experiences. We do not have a minimum education level requirement for this Fellowship. Rather, we are looking for BIPOC folks who:

  • Have 6+ cumulative years of experience in early childhood work (or in related fields, such as policy work, healthcare, social services, community organizing, etc.), whether the years of experiences are professional, educational, volunteer experience, or any combination of the aforementioned
  • Live in Washington state
  • Have legal authority to work in the U.S.
