the world to inspire civic innovation. President Obama announced in a video and
e-mail the first set of Obama Foundation initiatives to inspire and empower
young people to change their world.

inspire a powerful wave of civic innovation. Obama Foundation Fellows will be a
diverse set of twenty community-minded rising stars—organizers, inventors,
artists, entrepreneurs, journalists, and more—who are radically altering the
civic engagement landscape.

The two-year,
non-residential Fellowship will offer hands-on training, resources, and
leadership development. Fellows will also participate in four multi-day
gatherings where they will collaborate with each other, connect with potential
partners and resources, and collectively push their work forward. Throughout
the program, each Fellow will pursue a personalized plan to leverage Fellowship
resources to take their work to the next level. Applications for the inaugural
fellowship class are open at Obama.org/Fellowship.
