Overview
The Alliance Theatre's Spelman Leadership Fellowship, launched in 2016 as the first mentorship partnership between a regional theatre and an HBCU, is designed to cultivate Black women and non-binary leaders for top roles in the not-for-profit cultural sector. Spelman College seniors first complete a nine-month paid leadership internship (10 hours per week at $15 per hour) rotating through departments such as arts administration, marketing, development, education, and production; current interns may then apply for a one-year, full-time salaried fellowship tailored to their interests in artistic or executive leadership. The fellowship is restricted to Spelman interns and is administered by the Alliance in Atlanta.
Eligibility
Only current Alliance/Spelman Leadership Interns (Spelman College seniors) are eligible; preceded by 9-month paid internship at $15/hr, 10 hrs/week
