We Are All Manhattan Fellowship Against Hate

Hate has no place in our communities — and you can help lead the response.

 The We Are All Manhattan Fellowship Against Hate is more than a professional development opportunity — it’s a call to action and an opportunity to learn, connect and lead. Organized by the YM & YWHA of Washington Heights & Inwood in partnership with JCRC-NY and the Mayor’s Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes (as part of the PATH-Forward initiative), this fellowship is designed for those who are ready to lead with purpose, courage, and collaboration. 

Why Apply?

This transformative fellowship brings together a diverse cohort of mid- to senior-level leaders from Manhattan-based nonprofits, faith communities, and government agencies — people who are on the front lines in their neighborhoods and communities. 

 

Through a series of dynamic workshops, inspiring speakers, interactive site visits, and a powerful overnight journey to Washington, DC, fellows will gain tools, strategies, and relationships that amplify their impact.  

 

If you’re a leader who wants to connect, learn, act — and help shape a borough that stands united against hate and for love— we invite you to apply.
