Kairos Fellowship

The Kairos Fellowship is designed to build the next generation of leaders of color in the field of technology, digital campaigning, and online organizing. The Kairos Fellowship is an eight-month, paid, on the job, full-time Fellowship. Through the program, Kairos invests in Fellows with training, mentorship, and strategic support. This year, Kairos will match and place up to 18 fellows with power building national and state organizations where Fellows will work mostly on issue advocacy campaigns. Upon completion of the eight-month program, you may be offered a permanent position with the organization. Historically, 80% of Fellows have been offered a permanent position. We believe in thorough leadership development, political education, and training as core components to long-term power-building. Our 8-month intensive curriculum is designed to teach you the Kairos model of online organizing, which is rooted in racial and gender justice. Kairos partners with leading power-building organizations that are aligned with our racial justice framework and working at the national or state level on issues of working people and communities of color. Specifically, we partner with organizations interested in working locally, in collaboration to integrate campaign strategies, and that want to scale up to build more power.
