Hi! i did CU in spring of 2022. i can't speak for everyone who participated, but the fellowship was life-changing for me. i got to meet so many like-minded people, network with influential youth, learn about civic innovation, and was even awarded a grant i used to start my own nonprofit. i'd say it's somewhat prestigious, as the acceptance rate is about 10% on average. i highly recommend and have already encouraged some friends to apply for this coming session, so let me know if you have questions regarding the application, which i believe is due the 31st. apps are reviewed on a rolling basis, so try to submit it ASAP if you're interested.

What type of work or learning did you do in this program? Also are you comfortable sharing your discord username to communicate if you have one? Thank you!

it depends on the individual, but some subjects include housing, tech, education, etc. There are educational sessions and optional small group calls every week which are great for networking! I dont rly use discord but u can reach out to CU's representatives from their website for specificz
