American Society on Aging Announces ASA RISE Fellowship Program
The American Society on Aging (ASA) has announced the launch of ASA RISE and the first cohort of Fellows. ASA RISE is a 20-week leadership and social justice program for leaders of color in aging.
ASA RISE aims to lead to improved well-being across an increasingly diverse aging population by creating a BIPOC leadership pool that improves policies and programs at the local, state and national levels. After more than a year working with ASA members and experts in the field, ASA RISE weekly programing begins January 2022 with a cohort of 16 Fellows.
The Fellows will participate in weekly virtual sessions that will provide training and mentorship in the aging field on fundamental principles of advocacy, social justice and leadership development, and will be paired with a mentor to work with individually. ASA RISE Fellows will build a national, cross-industry network of peers and thought leaders. They also will gain a greater appreciation for the unique dynamics that come with being a BIPOC leader.
