Diane Bernstein Fellowship
in Child and Youth Advocacy

Interested in a fellowship opportunity? 

DC Action is committed to supporting the next generation of young people who wish to address structural racism through public interest advocacy. That is why we are proud to offer a paid fellowship that provides hands-on experiential learning opportunities for rising sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students, who are interested in the intersection of racial justice and public policy with a focus on children and youth.

Join DC Action as a Diane Bernstein Fellow! Each year, DC Action welcomes two cohorts of fellows, one joining for the full year and another joining us for the summer. To learn more about the Bernstein Fellowship experience, watch this video created by our 2025 Communications Fellow, Adan Hernandez Nova.

Keep an eye on our Careers page for upcoming fellowship openings. For questions about the program or application process, reach out to our Fellowship Coordinator, Mary Katherine West.
