FAO Schwarz Fellowship in Social Impact Info Session - November 2025
The FAO Schwarz Fellowship is a selective national Fellowship program for graduating college seniors interested in social impact careers. The Fellowship positions are paid, two-year experiences working at carefully selected nonprofit organizations in Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia. These roles combine direct service with strategic projects that give Fellows a chance to deepen their understanding of social issues, gain leadership experience in managing program initiatives, and explore how nonprofits work to respond to community needs and create lasting change. Between five to seven new Fellowship positions are typically available each year.
In addition to compensation and benefits, Fellowships include professional development, two four-day retreats each year, mentoring, and cohort experiences. More than 90 percent of former Fellows continue to work in social impact.
