The Let Us Lead National Fellowship is a demanding yet fulfilling experience in which you get out what you put in. All fellows are expected to attend two meetings per week and complete their weekly assignments –– an aggregate of roughly 5 hours. We pride ourselves in creating a supportive and flexible environment, so please reach out to your fellowship coordinator if you are unable to fulfill the responsibilities of your role at any time. We stress the importance of communicating in advance so that you may schedule a makeup meeting or project with one of our staff. That said, our attendance policy is enforced, and accumulating absences will result in your removal from the program. We look forward to your commitment and contribution!
