For over 35 years, Echoing Green has been on the front lines of solving the world's biggest problems by raising up transformational leaders who challenge the status quo. We seek leaders who bring deep knowledge and passion to designing solutions with and for their communities. Fellows are lifelong members of Echoing Green’s community and work across issue areas to advance equity, including education, climate justice, human rights, health, and more.

The methods we use to identify high-potential leaders have been refined over three decades, and the results speak for themselves. Three rules guide the Echoing Green search and selection model, even as we’re always adapting to stay ahead of the curve.

1. Seek out overlooked places
   We prioritize funding leaders and communities less likely to connect with traditional investment.
2. Include all kinds of talent
   We cultivate a diverse network of social impact talent across a breadth of ethnic, gender, religious, and economic backgrounds.
3. Evaluate potential in new ways
   Fellows are more than their business plans—so we focus on indicators of lifelong leadership, looking beyond traditional benchmarks such as previous financial success or business school degrees.
