The Fellowship Initiative

The Fellowship Initiative's mission is to help young men acquire the skills, knowledge,experience, networks, and other resources they need to succeed academically and professionally. TFI provides comprehensive and hands-on academic, social and emotional support to young men of color in high school. TFI fellows meet three Saturdays each month for full-day learning sessions. During the summer TFI fellows participate in extended retreats or expeditions that focus on a different theme each year.
