Be a Champion of Diversity:

  Join Us as a Sponsor for the 2nd Annual UpNext Mixer!

Open Access Fellowship works to increase Black and Latinx representation within community development companies that serve minority communities. Despite concentrated efforts in these areas, there is little diversity among professionals in the industry. By providing training and job placement assistance, the fellowship develops minority talent to fill this representation gap. With a growing network of alumni entering leadership roles, they empower underserved groups and give voice to their needs and priorities. Your donation supports this effort to build an inclusive community development sector that truly understands and advocates for the people it aims to help.
