In early 2020, WKKF transitioned the support and management of the network from the Kellogg Fellows Leadership Alliance (KFLA) in-house in order to create a more direct relationship between the fellows and the foundation, fostering their ability to connect, collaborate and act.
By strengthening our relationship, we hope to leverage fellows’ expertise, knowledge and influence on foundation priorities on the ground in communities. The foundation also seeks to draw upon fellows’ experience and wisdom related to its mission to create lasting, transformational change for children and in its commitments to racial equity, community engagement and leadership—what we call our DNA.
Our current signature leadership program in the United States is the Community Leadership Network (CLN). CLN is offered through our partner the Center for Creative Leadership and supports local leaders to connect, grow and lead transformational change toward a more equitable society. These leaders come from communities across the country; however, we put special emphasis on developing leaders from our priority communities: Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico and New Orleans. As leaders graduate from CLN, they join the Global Fellows Network.
We encourage you to visit the CLN site for updates on our current programs and upcoming fellowships.
