Cradle-to-Career Summer Fellowship

Cradle to Career Banner

Program Overview:

A joint initiative between The EdRedesign Lab (EdRedesign) at Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), the Harvard College Center for Public Service and Engaged Scholarship, and its Mindich Service Fellowship program, the Cradle-to-Career Summer Fellows Cohort offers Harvard undergraduates the opportunity to work with organizations tackling issues of educational equity, intergenerational poverty, and economic mobility in communities across the country. Driven by the vision that race, place, and income should no longer be determinants of school and life success for children and young people, Summer Fellows will work on projects dedicated to changing practices, policies, and systems so that more young people can reach their full potential. 

Summer Fellows will spend 10 weeks during the summer working with some of the nation’s leading organizations advancing social and economic mobility through place-based innovations. All Cradle-to-Career Summer Fellows will have access to professional development opportunities offered by EdRedesign.
