The Rehumanize Fellowship is a program for college students who want to do meaningful work promoting human rights and the Consistent Life Ethic. Fellows participate in a week of training and activism in Washington, DC, and are then paired with mentors who support them for a full year as they develop life-affirming projects on their own campuses.

The fellowship is open to current and rising college students, 18+.  We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds, disciplines, and levels of prior activism. You do not need to be an expert in the Consistent Life Ethic. A willingness to learn is enough.

There is no cost to Fellows. Generous donors have pledged to cover the DC week and related fellowship expenses so that financial barriers don't stand in the way of participation.

The Consistent Life Ethic is the conviction that all human life deserves protection regardless of age, ability, or circumstance, including the unborn, the elderly, the incarcerated, victims of violence, and those facing the death penalty. Rehumanize International advocates across all of these issues from a nonpartisan and nonsectarian perspective.

Fellows travel to Washington, DC, for an intensive week of training, activism, and networking hosted by The Leadership Institute in Arlington, VA. This includes direct engagement with the pro-life and human rights communities, learning advocacy skills, and connecting with leaders in the movements for life, peace, and justice.

During the DC week, each Fellow is matched with a mentor, a leader in the fields of life, peace, and justice, who will work with them one-on-one for a year. Fellows then develop and carry out a life-affirming project at their school with the support of their mentor and Rehumanize International.

Projects vary based on each Fellow's interests and campus context. They might include starting or growing a human rights group, organizing events, producing advocacy materials, engaging in policy discussions, or other initiatives that promote the Consistent Life Ethic in their communities.

No, though it is helpful. The application asks whether you're currently involved in any related groups or organizations, but involvement is not a requirement for acceptance.

You can apply directly at rehumanizeintl.org/fellowship. The application asks about your background, your interest in human rights work, and what you hope to gain from the fellowship. You'll also be asked which leader in the movements for life, peace, and justice you'd want as a mentor and why.
