What is Fellowship used for?

Running a fellowship end to end: campaigns, applications, selection and onboarding before; a companion app during; and an alumni network after, with one dashboard for fellowship health.

Is there an app for fellows?

Yes. A companion app for fellows, coaches and mentors: daily check-ins, wellness routines, journaling, the curriculum, reflections, mentorship sessions and community.

Can hosts and mentors use it too?

Yes. Hosts, supervisors, mentors and reviewers each get their own role, and see only what they should.

What happens after the fellowship ends?

Alumni join a social network to stay in touch and share opportunities, with jobs from the sector, events, learning programmes and surveys.

Do you offer training and onboarding?

Yes; we stay through launch until your team runs it.
