Cohort 4 Application

The application process for Cohort 4 officially opens on July 1, 2026.

For our fourth cohort, we are pivoting to a focused, 12-month virtual leadership experience. In response to recent Supreme Court decisions and the growing challenges facing communities across the country, this cohort will heavily focus on the Law Pillar of the TRHT framework. We anticipate selecting a cohort of twenty (20) participants. Selected leaders will receive a $10,000 flexible award to advance their work and support innovative approaches to addressing systemic inequities, along with mentoring, peer learning, and opportunities to apply the TRHT framework to real-world challenges.

Who Should Apply?

We are actively seeking a diverse group of organizers, attorneys, educators, public health professionals, researchers, nonprofit leaders, storytellers, faith leaders, and other practitioners. Ideal candidates will:

• Have at least three (3) years of experience working across racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographic differences.

• Be actively engaged in primary work involving Voting Rights (voter education, mobilization, and democracy protection) and/or Immigration (addressing deportation-related harms, policy advocacy, or narrative work).

• Be committed to advancing racial and health equity through collaboration and systems change.
