Centered on CGI's Commitment to Action model, CGI Fellows recognize President Clinton’s legacy of public service, including the power of partnerships in addressing global challenges and fostering tangible change in their communities. Through this fellowship, participants—who are already in the implementation stage of their social impact projects—will have the opportunity to connect with the prestigious CGI member community. The fellowship aims to support these socially minded entrepreneurs in refining and advancing their Commitments to Action with the goal of developing a complete social impact business plan by the program's end.
The CGI Fellowship is virtual except for the in-person CGI Annual Meeting in September in New York City, which all CGI Fellows are invited to attend, expenses covered.
