The 2023 Application has closed.
We’re pursuing a bold 2030 goal for Central Appalachia, and we invite alumni from any TFA region to join us as Central Appalachia Leadership Lab (CALL) members. By 2030, twice as many students in Central Appalachian communities will achieve postsecondary readiness and success, indicating that they are on a path to economic mobility and a future filled with possibility. To reach this goal, we invite alumni from any TFA region to join us as Lab members— a robust team of leaders across all sectors and industries who will spend three years driving toward collective impact in our mountain communities. Already live in Eastern Kentucky, Southwest Virginia, Northeast Tennessee, or West Virginia? Apply through our “Rooted” Track! Want to move to one of those geographies? Apply through our “Relocation” Track. Fellows receive a total financial award of $7,500, personalized professional development, and access to executive coaching. Relocating fellows are eligible for a supplemental award to support with relocation, as well as community concierge support as they choose housing, locate amenities, and build a vibrant community in Central Appalachia.
