The Junior Fellows program is designed to provide professionals from New York City-based 501(c)3 nonprofits who have two or more years of experience in the nonprofit sector with a strong foundation in both the theory and practice of nonprofit management.
Designed to assist these professionals in the development of their own leadership style while giving them tools that they can immediately use to add value to their organizations and communities, the program's curriculum is comprised of 12 weekly seminars on topics that include:
- Mission, Strategy and Management in Nonprofit Organizations
- Budgets and Accounting
- Advocacy and Government Relations
- Organizational Diagnosis
- Management and Leadership
- Human Resources
- Performance Measurement
- Working with Technology

The program had engaging professors who had tools for us to consider and use and shared real life situations and made us think about how we would address them in our own organizations. I also learned from my classmates from them sharing their experiences.
Feedback from a 2004
Junior Fellows Graduate
All sessions are taught by professors at the Baruch College School of Public Affairs, one of US News & World Report's "Best Graduate Schools/Public Affairs programs," in a participatory fashion suitable for adult learners -- featuring case studies, practice exercises and the opportunity to learn from the other nonprofit professionals in the cohort.

United Way of New York City has chosen to invest in the future of New York City's nonprofits by subsidizing the program, so the cost of this prestigious Fellowship program is very reasonable. Each selected Fellow's employer is responsible for a $250 organizational commitment fee, while each individual Fellow pays nothing above and beyond their $30 application fee.
The application period for the 2009 Fellows has ended. We are no longer accepting applications.
