What is the Partnerships Academy Fellowship?
The Partnerships Academy Fellowship is a six-month long program in which a cohort of citywide community park groups support one another to work towards goals, and grow as leaders. Partnerships Academy Fellowship is geared towards community groups who are committed to getting to the next level of their development as a group, or with a specific project. Fellowship participan ts work with Partnerships for Parks to create a timeline for their initiative, and get support to achieve it through peer mentorship and support. In-person sessions help leaders define their goals, develop an action plan, monitor their progress, and evaluate their work.
