Calling Kent youth: come get paid to learn how to organize your community with us! ✊
ForFortyTwo is hosting a 10-week summer fellowship program for Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color youth (ages 15-21) in Kent, focused on community organizing. Fellows will commit 5-8 hours a week and receive a $1250 stipend upon successful completion of the program. This year, the program will be following a hybrid model, where it will be accessible online but there will be many optional but recommended in-person meetings. The program will run from 6/27 - 9/2. The application can be found at tinyurl.com/442fellow.

No prior experience is necessary— just a passion for dismantling systemic racism, and a desire to uplift our communities. The program will involve seminars where fellows will learn about topics such as race & power, abolitionist organizing strategies, histories that DON’T get taught in school, accountability and consent, environmental justice, and more. Fellows will also get the opportunity to support or lead projects relating to abolition, investing in BIPOC communities, empowering youth and students, and healing & mutual aid. Applications are due May 8th at 11:59pm. Please contact [email protected] with any questions or access needs.
