Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity

Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity (AFRE) is a fellowship programme based at Columbia University in New York City and the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg, South Africa. Our mission is to build an enduring transnational network of leaders across issues, approaches and geographies to challenge anti-Black racism and build the policies, institutions and narratives needed for a more equitable future. We support accomplished leaders from diverse backgrounds to uncover and address the root causes of racial inequality and engage in strategic, long-term collaborative efforts for transformative social change through leadership development, community building, design labs and narrative change.
