About the Fellowship

Who are you looking for?

We are looking for young people passionate about improving screen use in their community. We aren’t looking for people with experience in science; we’re looking for people who want to get involved in their community.

What is the structure of the program?

The fellowship meets every other week, along with individual meetings. Over the course of four months, fellows will learn how to study policy, along with implementing advocacy campaigns in their community.

What is the expected time commitment?

Cohort members are expected to dedicate 3 to 5 hours a week on the fellowship and action project. Cohort members are expected to attend every meeting every other week.

When is the next fellowship cohort?

The next fellowship cohort will be in Fall 2026.
