The National Equity Atlas Fellowship is designed to equip community leaders of color with skills and tools to leverage data to advance racial and economic equity.

About the National Equity Atlas Fellowship

 
The National Equity Atlas Fellowship has concluded, and we're excited to share our initial reflections and lessons from the program. Please stay connected to discover future opportunities and access resources from the Racial Equity Data Lab.

The National Equity Atlas Fellowship provides intensive, hands-on data training and support to leaders of color in communities across the United States in community-based organizations working to increase racial and economic equity by advancing policy solutions and systems-level transformation.

During the year-long program, fellows:

  • Receive training to access datasets, conduct analyses, and create data visualizations
  • Participate in monthly learning sessions and one-on-one coaching sessions
  • Learn from other community-based leaders from across the country
  • Engage with data and policy experts
  • Collaborate with National Equity Atlas staff

With the support of their organizations, the Atlas team, and their peers, fellows will develop data visualizations and products for advocacy campaigns focused on advancing policy and systems change at the municipal, county, regional, state, or national level. The data products that the fellows produce will be featured on the Racial Equity Data Lab — a space on the Atlas where users can learn how to create their own customized data displays, dashboards, maps, and other visualizations.
