+ ABOUT
Funded by The Boone Family Foundation, the Dallas Public Voices Fellowship is part of a prestigious national initiative to change who narrates history. The internationally acclaimed curriculum and method explore leadership, power, and action in an unfair world. Using time tested methods of transformational learning, fellows explore how credibility works, how ideas spread, when and why minds change, and how ideas play out over time and space. This program will engage selected fellows in intense, results-oriented thinking and activities around their own knowledge and impact. It will provide the inside information, high-level support and media connections to become influential on a large scale. Other participating institutions include Yale, Dartmouth, Northwestern, The Ford Foundation, and more. Fellows will join a national network of peers, allowing for knowledge-sharing and innovation across institutions and geographies.
+ IMPACT
The Public Voices Fellowship has a track record of stunning results, generating personal, professional, and public outcomes with far-reaching implications. Fellows have published op-eds in high-impact venues and gone on to publish history-changing books. They have briefed Congress, advised the White House, launched new research studies and centers, and sparked national and international debate. They have written books, collaborated on research grants, and driven policy change. The resulting impact of their ideas entering public consciousness has been expansive and is hard to overstate.
+ LOGISTICS
Fellows will participate in three convenings (see application for dates), scheduled at approximately one-month intervals. They will also be assigned to a seasoned journalist for dedicated one-on-one mentoring throughout the program. In addition, fellows will receive weekly customized email support and will be invited to join weekly webinars and periodic expert talks with a wide range of journalists and thought leaders. Upon completion of the fellowship, they will have access to a powerful network of peers and to The OpEd Project's national network of high-level journalist mentors.
+ Expectations
Fellows are required to attend all three convenings (each of which takes place over two-to-three- consecutive days) in full. Each fellow also commits to writing a minimum of two op-ed (opinion) pieces over the course of the fellowship with the support of their mentor
+ ALUMNI - OPPORTUNITY
The 2023 cohort will offer up to four standout alumni with demonstrated success and a deep commitment to the mission an opportunity to re-experience the fellowship, further their own thought leadership, and work with The OpEd Project team to ensure the success and legacy of both the 2023 cohort and the Dallas Public Voices community more broadly. This opportunity was designed specifically for and is unique to the Dallas Public Voices Fellowship.
