The NJEA Justice and Equity Fellowship represents a groundbreaking initiative aimed at empowering NJEA members committed to advancing justice and equity. This fellowship is designed to develop NJEA members into justice and equity leaders so they can effect just and equitable change within the organization, their communities, and throughout the state of New Jersey.
The fellowship launched this year with an initial cohort of 12 members from across the state. They will be working with staff from NJEA’s Office of Human and Civil Rights, Equity and Governance.
Fellowship leads are members who have experience participating in and doing justice and equity-centered work. Fellows are individuals who have a strong passion for, and interest in, doing the work of justice and equity but may not have had previous opportunities to engage further. The fellowship is an opportunity to do so.
