Congratulating the newest class of Community Leadership Network fellows

At the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, we believe that change that leads to the thriving of children and families starts with strong local leaders. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the newest class of graduates from the Community Leadership Network, a dynamic and passionate group of changemakers who are joining the ever-growing Global Fellows Network.

A Fellowship Rooted in Community Impact  

These 79 graduates participated in an 18-month fellowship for leaders in WKKF’s priority places of Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico and New Orleans.

The experience offered fellows the opportunity to connect and collaborate with each other, grow their leadership skills and build a strong network to advance racial equity, racial healing and work on behalf of children and families at the local, tribal, state and national levels.

This year’s class is as diverse as it is inspiring. From early childhood advocates, technology innovators, tribal leaders, storytellers and mental health advocates to artists, health practitioners, educators and lawyers — what unites them is a shared vision: that every child, in every community, deserves to thrive.

They now become part of a powerful community of more than 1,200 social change agents from over 40 countries — The Global Fellows Network (GFN). GFN is a space for connection, collaboration and action. Fellows have access to virtual and in-person gatherings, networking events, engaging coffee chats, speaker series, unique professional development opportunities and so much more.
