New America Foundation Fellowships
California Fellowship Opportunities
The New America Foundation is a nonpartisan public policy institute whose purpose is to bring exceptionally promising new voices and ideas to the fore of America’s public discourse. Described by The New York Times as “breaking out of traditional liberal and conservative categories” and by Newsweek as “a hive of state-of-the-art policy entrepreneurship,” New America relies on a venture capital approach to invest in outstanding individuals and policy ideas. Through its Fellowships and Policy Programs, the Foundation sponsors a wide range of research, writing, conferences, and events on many of the most important issues of our time. Thanks to a grant from the James Irvine Foundation, New America is expanding its presence in California by appointing several Fellows throughout the state. For more information about New America, please visit www.newamerica.net.
