Charlottesville Inclusive Media Fellowship
The Charlottesville Inclusive Media Fellowship is a way to develop community information projects and programs that can help develop trust and equity in local communities. The fellowship is a kind of incubator; our hope is that fellows will grow their work enough to become partners in Charlottesville Inclusive Media in the future.
This fellowship is open to those who have made significant contributions and participated in the Informing Our Communities Roundtable.
We have filled positions for the 2025 fellowships, and will announce the schedule for our 2026 program in the fall!
