About the Fellowship

The Transform Mid-Atlantic Civic Fellowship (TMACF) is a program geared toward engaged student leaders throughout the region. Nominations are accepted each spring for the following academic year. Each of TMA's member presidents is invited to nominate one student from their campus for the Fellowship.

Participation in the Transform Mid-Atlantic Civic Fellowship will provide students from across the region high impact opportunities to develop their leadership skills and understanding of civic and community engagement so that they may better serve as leaders in their communities and collectively create solutions to our region's most urgent problems. This fellowship is a key avenue to develop student leaders who are engaged global citizens, actively contributing to the creation of equitable, healthy, sustainable, and socially just communities.

In addition to receiving pre-fellowship summer advising and a certificate of completion and graduation cord at the conclusion of the program, the 2025-2026 fellowship will consist of:

• Nine virtual monthly gatherings, including sessions with regional and national experts focused on issues related to society, the economy, the environment, and governance, as well as leadership development, sustainable change making, and advancing equity through lifelong civic and community engagement in the Mid-Atlantic region;
• An in-person end-of-year retreat hosted by TMA in either Baltimore or DC;
• Networking and relationship building as part of a regional cohort of young and engaged leaders;
• Advising and mentoring by TMA staff, institutional representatives, and partner organizations;
• A final capstone project (designed with the assistance of TMA staff);
