From elected officials and organizers to investors and CEOs, each lesson during the Civic Innovators Fellowship is taught alongside an expert in the field being discussed. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, pitch ideas, and keep them in your network for life.
Throughout the program, you'll be introduced to the technology and ideas at the forefront of social impact. The 2023 Fellowship kicks off with Fellows having the opportunity to alpha-test leading mobile voting software.
Civics Unplugged is a network for life. After graduation, you'll get onboarded to an Alumni platform only for other Civics Unplugged graduates. A full-time Alumni Director will help you secure funding, find internships, or get connected to key people throughout your leadership journey.

Case Briefs consist of an analysis of a vexing problem facing a particular sector of society. For example, a Fellow may examine how an increase in flooding on the Mississippi river has impacted commerce in the south and midwest, and propose solutions to mitigate the effects.
How many hours a week is the Fellowship?
The Fellowship requires about 2-3 hours a week of a mix of lectures, reading, group discussion, and work time. We will also offer weekly office hours and additional discussion time for students who have the time and willingness to go above and beyond on their developmental journey.
Who is eligible for the Fellowship?
You are eligible if you will be enrolled in high school (or on a gap year) during your Fellowship class.
What are the application requirements?
The application consists of basic demographic information and a few written response questions to gauge your potential as a civic innovator.
Does CU have a political affiliation?
No, CU is a non-partisan organization. And in fact, our training helps students grow into thinkers and leaders whose identity and impact transcend conventional political bounds.
When do applications open and close?
CU runs two fellowships a year, in the Spring and the Fall. The Spring '23 application closes on January 31st 2023.
