What is the Leadership Longevity Fellowship?

Leadership Longevity unites mission-driven professionals for an intensive cohort-based experience integrating leadership and well-being. Led by New Sector experts, the program empowers participants with skill sets, mindsets, and connections to persevere as long-term leaders for transformative change. It includes:

  • Building relationships with a diverse cohort of peers 

  • Promoting well-being by learning strategies for resilience and longevity

  • Developing leadership competencies to increase effectiveness and impact

  • Addressing complex challenges through short-term action and long-term change

We anticipate opening applications for the next cohort in summer 2025—subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed about this and other upcoming opportunities!
