About the Opportunity

Seeding Disruption is a Fellowship in the District of Columbia to build knowledge, skills, and community across racial difference and professional fields – and to catalyze movement towards racial equity, with a central focus on children and youth.

SDX fellows are high school students from all over DC who come together over the course of the school year to build the skills, knowledge, relationships, and courage they need to make change in their communities. Over the course of the year-long SDX experience, students learn how to interrupt injustice in their communities, connect with adult leaders and other students from across DC, and develop important skills and powerful relationships to continue leading for change.

The fellowship is open to rising 10th–12th graders in DC who have the passion and interest to make a difference in their communities. We meet once a month in person on Saturdays, often at the MLK library. We will also be taking a trip outside of the DMV to deepen our learning about organizing and establish connections with other changemakers.

Students receive access to seed money to get their projects off the ground, in addition to receiving a stipend of $1,000 for their participation in the program.
