Cohort 3 Fellowship Application

Cohort 3 Fellowship Application

Spring 2021
Dear applicant,

Thank you for your interest! All Square seeks out and embraces formerly incarcerated people and others impacted by the justice system who have encountered obstacles in moving forward with their lives, achieving economic mobility, and realizing their dreams. This application is for us to learn more about you and your goals. Please be completely honest and know that while we are seeking people with an entrepreneurial spirit, we do not require you to have a completed business plan to apply for the Fellowship.

This application is completely confidential. Any information you provide to us will be retained solely by All Square and not distributed to any other organization. However, we may collect de-identified data – data that could never be traced back to a specific applicant – and aggregate it for research purposes, to improve our services and expand our programs.

All Square is an Equal Opportunity Employer; we will not discriminate against individuals due to their race, ethnicity, nationality, religious beliefs, age, gender, sexual preference or any other class protected under federal, state or local laws. All Square will provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities whenever possible, however we do employ Fellows in a restaurant setting and therefore require individuals to be able to lift 50 pounds, climb stairs, and stand for prolonged periods (up to 6 hours).

If you have trouble completing this application, please call or text our staff at (612) 787-7164.
