Everyday Feminism is offering a Fellowship Program in order to grow the number of intersectional feminists who can write about social justice issues in a way that reaches a more general progressive audience.
The Fellowship is a 6-month training and mentorship program for activists who write at the intersection of personal and social liberation. Fellows will learn the very writing approach that has helped Everyday Feminism reach 3-4 million people per month in less than 4 years and made more radical politics accessible, appealing, and relevant to a more mainstream audience.
This is a virtual program and Fellows can be anywhere in the world as long as they have Internet access and can participate in the online workshops, which will be held during US business hours. The hours are also flexible with only the online workshops being at a specific time.
About the Fellowship Program
The Fellowship Program will support the development of the Fellows through:
– Writing workshops to learn how to write in our unique approach
– Writing assignments to learn different styles and article structures
– Professional development workshops on topics ranging from developing your career in social justice, healing from systemic oppression, to self-care for activists
– Group discussions with other Fellows and Contributors to deepen their analysis and understanding of different issues

– Commit to 10-15 hours per week for 6 months
– Publish at 2-4 articles per month based on writing assignments
– Attend weekly workshops and discussions
