The FAO Schwarz Fellowship is a two-year program that helps new college graduates gain the skills and experience needed to become social impact leaders. Fellows work at leading nonprofit organizations in Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia on direct service to the community and strategic projects. The Fellowship program also includes a variety of professional development, mentorship, and networking experiences.

Fellows earn a yearly stipend among other benefits. Fellowship positions and host organizations are announced in the fall.

Candidates should be committed to social change and social justice leadership. Successful candidates have demonstrated leadership in their college communities and have a proven record of academic excellence. Applicants must be college seniors at the time of application and be eligible to work in the United States for the duration of the Fellowship.
