Apply To Dissenters' Anti-Militarist Organizing Fellowship!

Extended deadline is July 4, 2025.
Do you want to build the movement to defund and abolish war and policing? Are you ready to transform, learn concrete organizing skills, squad up and skill up with Dissenters?

Extended deadline July 4, 2025.

We are hiring college students in the U.S. to work with us during the fall semester as our 2025 cohort of Anti-Militarist Campus Organizing Fellows!

This year we are seeking to recruit fellows in pairs, 24 fellows total across 12 campuses. Participants will apply and be accepted as pairs.

Dissenters’ Anti-Militarist Campus Organizing Fellowship is a 12-week paid program that trains US-based college students on the fundamentals of anti-militarist organizing, and provides deep leadership development, coaching, and community to a dedicated cohort of student organizers across the country.

Fellows will receive a $2500 ($5000 per campus) stipend over the span of 3 months to build a Dissenters chapter on campus. We expect fellows to spend about 15 hours/week organizing & participating in fellowship activities.

To Qualify:
- This position is available to any currently enrolled college student that identifies as Black, Indigenous or directly impacted by war and militarism. No previous political or organizing experience is required.
- Cannot be entering their Final Year of college.
- Must apply as a pair but each person must submit an individual application!
Priority for:
- Students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
- Students at Colleges in the South.
- Students with strong connections to the Military Industrial Complex.
- Students from schools with large Black or Indigenous populations.
Please email info@wearedissenters.org with any questions. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and will close on July 4, 2025.

This program will run from late-August to December 15.
