March: Submit an application
Make sure you're eligible and submit an application to one of our local funds.
You need:
• To have at least two years remaining in your undergraduate degree
• To have 10 hours a week
• To be passionate about making the world better through finance
• To be a leader in your community
You don't need:
• To have prior investment knowledge
• To be in a business program
• To have working experience (although this is certainly helpful!)
May: Onboarding
You'll join Fellows across the country for a (virtual) onboarding. It's mandatory—but we also think it's super fun!
July - August: Investing Competition
Apply what you've learned to a real impact venture: you'll conduct due diligence, analyze the venture, and present your recommendation to a panel of expert industry judges.
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 80% of your time working as a paid Analyst in one of our partner organizations and 20% of your summer working with Propel Impact.
March: Interview Process
You'll be interviewed by the Fund Managers leading the specific Propel Impact Fund you've applied for.
May - June: Training
Throughout the summer, you'll spend 10 hours/week learning through workshops and online assignments.
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.
Year 2: 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 team members.
