About the Organization

Founded by Harvard University & Teach for India alumni, Slam Out Loud is a not- for-profit organisation that leverages arts-in-education and Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Our mission is to transform the art period in school into a space where children can find their voice through creative expression.

About the Fellowship  

The Jijivisha Fellowship is a one-year, full-time paid work commitment, where fellows are placed directly in classrooms. They work closely with the students, parents, teachers, and the school administration to create safe spaces and build creative confidence in children.

In our fellows, we look for people who are committed to the arts-in-education movement that looks to enable every child to “unlock their potential & find their voice” using the arts as a medium.
