PV Events Fellowship
Training Fellowship
Overview
The PV Events Fellowship is a paid summer fellowship opportunity for BIPOC girls & gender expansive youth in the greater Seattle / King County area. This is a hybrid (remote & and in-person) identity and leadership development program for a young community leader to use event production and curation as an opportunity to support fellow Seattle young people feel connected, empowered, and inspired.
During the program, the fellow will receive hands-on training, mentorship, and intentional skill development opportunities in areas like experience design, leadership, project management, and more. The program will culminate with the fellow leading the planning and execution of a Powerful Voices’s signature youth-focused community event, Girlvolution, with a $5k budget.
