Build your skills & your network!

Come together with other community-committed students from around the country for the 2023 Convening of Newman Civic Fellows. During the convening, you'll get to tighten your bonds with other Fellows, learn from civic and community engagement experts about organizing and making positive change, and experience hands-on democratic learning at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum. Each year, fellows say that this in-person convening is a highlight of the fellowship—we hope you'll join us!
