The LEAD Fellowship program partners with leaders who reflect the lived experiences, diversity, and perspectives of the DPS community. It equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and connections they need to become stronger advocates and changemakers. Throughout the program, Fellows build the knowledge, skills, and relationships needed to navigate complex systems, advocate effectively, and drive meaningful change for Denver’s public schools.
At DFA, we believe that leadership development should be accessible to all. To honor Fellows’ time and support equitable access to the LEAD Fellowship, we provide a $5,000 stipend to each participant who successfully completes the program. The stipend is distributed in installments throughout the duration of the fellowship.
