New Sector offers two Fellowship Tracks:

(1) Career Track: Fellows apply to work in a one-year position at a New Sector partner organization (host site) and participate in New Sector’s professional development program, including training, mentoring, peer learning teams, and individual coaching sessions. While participating in the RISE program, Fellows are hired as full-time employees of their host organization and receive a salary and health benefits.

(2) Professional Development Track: This year’s RISE professional development track is for applicants who are already employed full-time by a mission-driven organization in the Twin Cities and have up to 10 years of work experience. Fellows apply to participate in New Sector’s professional development program from January - December 2018. To cover costs, New Sector charges a $1,200 tuition fee to participate in this program. Some scholarships are available, so we encourage all high potential leaders working for mission-driven organizations in the Twin Cities to apply if you’re interested in joining a cohort of New Sector Fellows for professional development and networking.
