Calling all changemakers.
2020 will be a pivotal year for America. You have the valuable skills to build inclusive technology that changes lives. We have the training, support, and tools you need to do that work. The Compass Fellowship connects diverse changemakers with the tools, training, and jobs needed to build a career in the progressive movement. While applications are currently closed, you can visit our tech talent matchmaking service, All Hands.
It’s never been more important to have the best and the brightest minds engaged in mission-driven work.
The Compass Fellowship was created for early to mid-career product + engineering talent who offer a perspective that has been historically under-represented in tech. With everything from voting rights to health care at stake this year, this is your moment to step up.
The Compass Fellowship provides free training and mentorship, and access to full-time, salaried job opportunities to guide you through the transition and help you ultimately land a fulfilling new job between April - June 2020. While the Compass Fellowship applications are currently closed, you may submit your resume to our tech talent matchmaking service, All Hands, to help find a job in politics.
The current cohort of fellows have committed to being available for an online convening the weekend of April 4-5, 2020, as well as weekly training and mentorship sessions held remotely.
