Georgia Leadership Lab

The experience supports a cohort of leaders who have sought to improve or enrich the lives of Georgia's immigrant and refugee communities through community involvement.

Georgia Leadership Lab Fellows participate in two three-day convenings, monthly trainings, and peer-to-peer coaching sessions. Fellows build their confidence as leaders, accelerate their capacities to build influence, and develop storytelling skills for advocacy and narrative change. The cohort also builds connections among community partners from diverse communities.

Asian Americans Advancing Justice Atlanta invites you to apply to the Georgia Leadership Lab. The Georgia Leadership Lab is a 6-month cohort-based experience for local immigrant rights advocates seeking to strengthen their skills in storytelling, narrative power, and transformative leadership.

The Georgia Leadership Lab will select up to 14 fellows who have sought to improve or enrich the lives of immigrant, refugee, and BIPOC communities in Georgia through their work at a local direct services and advocacy organization. Fellows will join a cohort of professionals who are creating an ecosystem of narrative power.

Fellows will participate in two 3-day convenings, three 1.5-hour monthly meetings, three hour-long peer support sessions, a presentation on project completed by fellow during the 6-month program, and a capstone public storytelling event. Applicants are encouraged to apply in pairs from organizations. Each person will be expected to submit an individual application. Fellows will also receive a $1,000 stipend to support their participation in the Lab.
