REAL Change Organizing and Advocacy Fellowship to Fight Poverty Application
Why do 2.4 billion people live on less than $2 per day? Why are 1 in 5 children at risk of going to bed hungry in the richest nation on the plant? RESULTS believes the answer is a lack of political will to enact existing solutions to poverty. Our mission is to create the political will to end poverty. Become a REAL Change Fellow and RESULTS will teach you how to become a change maker who fights poverty at home and abroad.

We are looking for the next generation of young activists and leaders in fighting poverty at home and abroad. RESULTS will train you to create personal relationships with policymakers in Congress and other branches of government. We’ll train and support you to speak powerfully and engage with the media and your community. We will train you to organize your community for change. RESULTS has proven over the past 33 years that when people like you use their voices effectively, we can make progress towards ending poverty.


As A REAL Change Fellow You Will:
- Receive training and support over 12 months to become a powerful advocate for the end of poverty.
- Learn how to lobby your member of Congress on related legislation and the budget items.
- Become a skilled organizer who mobilizes your community to fight poverty.
