NJEA announces 2025-26 Justice & Equity Fellows

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 affect just and equitable change within the organization, their communities and throughout the state of New Jersey.

Fellowship Leads are members who have experience participating in and doing justice and/or equity-centered work. Fellows are individuals who have a strong passion and interest in doing the work of justice and/or equity but may not have had opportunities to engage further. The fellowship is an opportunity to do so.
