Program Overview
The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation Policy & Systems Change Fellowship is a two-year, full-time, paid fellowship for individuals who want to contribute their learnings and experience to improve service delivery systems and policies in the public sector. The fellowship is designed to fast-track leaders with frontline and direct service experience to homelessness-related positions in L.A. County’s public sector. Hilton Foundation Fellows are embedded in public sector teams and work directly on projects related to ending and preventing homelessness across Los Angeles County.
The work of ending homelessness in Los Angeles will not see significant progress without the dedicated individuals providing services to our unhoused community every day. Rapid growth and rapidly changing social and economic conditions have exposed the sector’s need for collaborative solutions that leverage experience from frontline workers to implement system-wide.
The fellowship is managed by Social Justice Partners Los Angeles’ (SJPLA) Racial Equity in Homelessness Initiative.
Commitment
Two-year full-time placement in a public sector position supervised directly by an Executive level leader, including eight quarterly peer learning sessions facilitated by Social Justice Partners Los Angeles.
This is a full-time Fellowship position that requires availability during regular business hours. Selected applicants will need to terminate any existing full-time or part-time employment.
Compensation
$85,000 stipend each year, paid semi-monthly. Health insurance is not covered for the duration of the fellowship.
Extras
Opportunities in professional development and wellbeing supports.
