Current Fellows

Our Fellows join us from our own backyard and across the country, coming together to live, work, play, give and lead in Detroit for one year. These individuals are leaders and doers who are innovative, community-minded and have a passion for Detroit. With diverse backgrounds and expertise, they come together to give intellectually and support local nonprofits in moving their missions forward. Read their stories below.
