The Activist Academy fellowship is an initiative of Fenway Health, aiming to activate the next generation of public health leaders, civic health advocates, and health equity champions.
The Activist Academy Fellowship is designed for individuals who are passionate and eager to roll up their sleeves and contribute to creating a healthier, more equitable future–a future where public health is prioritized, civic health is strengthened, and health equity is realized for all.
At Activist Academy, we are building a movement–one where everyone has a role to play in shaping a healthier, more equitable future, regardless of age or professional background. With five cohorts completed and seventy-five Fellows graduated, Activist Academy has become a launchpad for emerging leaders who are now championing health equity in their communities and beyond. These individuals form a dynamic, intergenerational, cross-sector network of advocates dedicated to addressing the root causes of health inequities, driving lasting change, and empowering others to carry the torch forward.
