May: Onboarding Weekend
You'll join Associates across the country for a (virtual) onboarding weekend. It's mandatory—but we also think it's super fun!
May - August: Foundations Training
You'll participate in an 8-week foundational training about key social finance and social innovation concepts.
Spend your summer as a paid Summer Analyst
As a Fellow, you'll be first in line for our Summer Analyst Program: where you’ll spend 75% of your time working as a paid Analyst in one of our partner organizations and 25% of your summer working with Propel Impact as an Innovator-in-Residence.
March/April: Interview Process
You'll take part in a mix of 1:1, case, and group interviews.
May - August: Learn the local context
In September, you'll be preparing to work on your first impact consulting project.
September - April: Learn the fund as an Associate
For the next 8 months, you'll participate actively in your local fund: meeting social enterprises, researching, working on investments, and building community connections. In this time, you'll have the mentorship and guidance of Fund Managers: people who were Associates last year. Peer learning is key here.
Run your fund as a Fund Manager
Now is your time to run your local fund (alongside your teammates obviously). You'll be taking the lead on deals, partnerships, and internal operations. You'll also get to pass on knowledge to new associates.
