The LA Fellows program is seeking nonprofit organizations who are interested in hosting an LA Fellow. They should have a need within their organization where they can effectively use a highly skilled, mid-manager level individual in a project based role and in some cases executive duties.
The LA Fellow will be connected to the nonprofit through a meaningful match and will donate 100 hours of their time and talents by sharing their professional expertise with them.
If you are a nonprofit interested in hosting an LA Fellow please fill out an application.
Application
The next step is for you to fill out a short application outlining the volunteer opportunities. Please fill out a separate application for each project based role. Include as many details as you can so we can be sure to match the right person with your organization.

Volunteer Job Descriptions
The types of volunteer positions that would be best for an LA Fellow would be project based roles. LA Fellows should be assigned to a project where they can take on a leadership role. They should have an opportunity to showcase their talents and make a significant contribution to your organization. Examples of project based roles could be planning an event, creating a brochure, writing a grant, etc.
