The Honorable Eva M. Clayton Fellowship, housed within the North Carolina Black Alliance, expands leadership opportunities for college students across North Carolina. Named for former Congresswoman Eva M. Clayton — a distinguished leader with local, national and international impact — the fellowship honors her legacy through mentorship, leadership development and issue-advocacy training.
Fellows gain hands-on experience in six key areas — democracy, health care, environmental justice, communications, operations and policy/data — designed to strengthen North Carolina’s civic engagement infrastructure and contribute to the state’s leadership pipeline.
The program will run from May 18 through Aug. 7 each year. At the program’s conclusion, fellows complete a capstone project and submit a learning portfolio demonstrating their leadership impact and growth.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.
