RADIUS Fellowship

We are looking for the next generation of untamed social innovators who are early in their changemaking journey and who demonstrate a relentless dedication to creating positive, sustainable impact in their communities.

Ideal Fellows are those who want to make a three-month commitment to developing their leadership capacity, building their professional networks, and generously supporting their peers. A curious and collaborative mindset and an ability to socially locate oneself within systems are prerequisites.

The Fellowship program suits recent alumni and young professionals who self-identify as community changemakers, social innovators, or social entrepreneurs. It is designed to be complementary to someone studying or working full- or part-time.

RADIUS welcomes applications from Fellows who are engaged in any area or sector of work. That said, we do have particular areas of expertise and deeper network connections in the areas of our Labs: Health Promotion, Indigenous Entrepreneurship, Refugee Livelihoods, and the Future of Work. We are also well-oriented to the Future of Education given our work within SFU.

DOERS

• You are unhappy with the status quo and working to build better strategies.
• You’ve got a track record of working on projects that matter to you and society.
• You recognize you can’t do it alone and you are generous in your approach to working with others.

EXPLORERS

• You are seeking out new opportunities to learn about yourself and the systems you live in.
• You are curious about patterns in our systems and how these show up at the personal and interpersonal scale, and you seek to understand root causes and effects.
• You experiment and take risks. When it doesn’t work out, you ask why, and then you try again.

LOCALLY INVESTED

• You are committed to finding a way to make local, equitable, positive change.
• You are invested in this place and in our local communities (and in keeping other awesome folks here too!)
