In this time of rising hate and extreme partisanship, we believe our nation’s next generation of community leaders and problem-solvers would greatly benefit from the opportunity to refine and hone their leadership skills while building relationships across the issue areas and movements from which they come. To address this need, ADL and the Aspen Institute have launched the Civil Society Fellowship: A Partnership of ADL and the Aspen Institute (CSF). The CSF is modeled on the Henry Crown Fellowship, the premier leadership development program at Aspen that moves leaders from “success to significance.” The CSF builds on the Henry Crown approach of recruiting a “mosaic” of participants that represent the breadth of our country’s diversity and commit them to intense study and dialog. Each emerging CSF class of leaders will have the opportunity to engage with one another through experiential learning, building trust based on shared insights and mutual respect through informed dialogue.
