Frequently asked questions

You have questions; we’ve got answers!

Since the 1930s, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) has supported many leadership programs across the globe. This created a network of thousands of individuals who are associated with current and former WKKF leadership programs, which we today we call the Global Fellows Network. The network’s purpose is to create opportunities for connection, collaboration and action among the fellows so they can have a greater impact in making transformative change in systems, policies and practices.

WKKF has invested in the development of leaders for more than 90 years. We have supported numerous fellowship programs, many designed and implemented outside of WKKF. Here is the list of signature leadership programs that are part of WKKF’s Global Fellows Network. If you think you’re a fellow and want to learn more, contact us at [email protected].

  • Leadership Development Program for Racial and Gender Equality – Northeast Brazil (2011-2014)
  • Kellogg Programa de Fortalecimiento/Liderazgo (2010-2012)
  • Kellogg Southern Africa Leadership Program (2003-2014)
  • Latin American and Caribbean Social Leadership Scholarship Program (2000-2019)
  • Health Fellows & Scholars (1998-2012): Community Health Scholars Program, Scholars in Health Disparities Program, Kellogg Fellows in Health Policy Research
  • Community Partnership with Health Professions Education (1991-1996)
  • Kellogg International Leadership Program (1989-1998)
  • Food Fellows (1986-2013): Food & Society Policy Fellowship, Food & Policy Fellows, Food & Community Fellows
  • Kellogg International Fellowship Program / Health (1986-1990)
  • Kellogg International Fellowship Program / Food Systems (1985-1990)
  • Kellogg National Fellowship / Leadership Program (1980-2002)

In early 2020, WKKF transitioned the support and management of the network from the Kellogg Fellows Leadership Alliance (KFLA), bringing it in-house 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 leverage fellows’ expertise, knowledge and influence on foundation priorities on the ground in communities. The foundation also draws on fellows’ experience and wisdom to create lasting, transformational change for children and in its commitments to racial equity, community engagement and leadership.

The network is made up of former WKKF fellows. Our current signature leadership program in the United States is the Community Leadership Network (CLN), delivered in partnership with the Center for Creative Leadership. The program helps local leaders build strong connections, grow their skills and lead transformational change toward a more equitable society. Leaders come from communities across the U.S., with a special focus on our priority places: Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico and New Orleans. As leaders graduate from CLN, they join the Global Fellows Network. We encourage you to visit wkkfcln.org for updates on our current programs and upcoming fellowships.

By Carmen Villa Chávez, GFN fellow and Latin America and Caribbean network liaison What happens when leadership is experienced not from the top down, but side by side with communities — listening, learning and co-creating solutions rooted in the realities of everyday life? This is exactly what the W.K. Kellogg
