ASA RISE: Applications Open for Cohort 6 Fellows
The American Society on Aging (ASA) is accepting applications for Cohort 6 of ASA RISE, a six-month, equity-centered leadership program for emerging leaders of color committed to reshaping the future of aging.
Rooted in the values of racial equity, age justice and community empowerment, ASA RISE cultivates changemakers equipped to lead with courage, cultural insight and a commitment to advancing equity in aging.
Fellows participate in weekly virtual sessions focused on leadership development, advocacy, social justice, narrative change and systems transformation. The program also includes mentorship and coaching from leaders in aging, health, policy and justice.
Professionals working in aging services, policy, long-term care, public health, social work, housing, disability advocacy, philanthropy, and community-based or intergenerational programs are encouraged to apply.
