About the Unum Fellows Program

Through the Unum Fellowship, leaders expand upon their understanding of how to address inequities within their communities. Each Unum Fellow goes through a series of training modules led by nationally recognized experts, like the Harvard Kennedy School and HR&A, where they learn to design and implement capstone projects in their communities that receive funding support from EPU. These cohorts then become communities in themselves as sources for continued learning and collaborative opportunities beyond the fellowship.

While success will look different in each community, Fellows will leave the program equipped to:

  • Foster meaningful participation among key community partners and leaders to drive the advancement of goals and projects.
  • Advance initiatives—beginning with their Fellowship project—that address disparities in communities and promote shared prosperity for all.
  • Cultivate long-term visions for shared prosperity within their communities that outlive any single term or administration.
  • Equipped to have difficult conversations around belonging in ways that advance discourse with a common language and understanding.
  • Act with urgency with the support of a strong peer network and community.
