Lead For North Carolina Fellowship

Lead For North Carolina, led by the UNC School of Government, works to ensure that our state’s most dynamic and diverse leaders are working on our communities’ toughest challenges. Our core program is a paid Fellowship for outstanding civic leaders ages 21-30 to work on the toughest challenges facing local governments across North Carolina, particularly in Fellows’ hometowns and communities struggling to attract and retain talent.

All Lead For North Carolina Fellows receive up to three weeks of graduate-level public administration training from the UNC School of Government and receive three hours of graduate credit upon completion of the program. Lead For North Carolina is a state affiliate of Lead For America, which currently includes 100+ Fellows across the country.
