Become a Dream Tank Fellow
Youth-led, intergenerational, systems change in action.
The Dream Tank Fellowship is a unique experiential learning journey where students and emerging leaders step into real-world systems change projects. This is not a traditional job — it’s a co-creative adventure.
SPRING / SUMMER 2026 FELLOWSHIP
A youth leadership journey where you learn to design systems, lead programs, and co‑create the future across four cities
Hours: ~8–11 per week (flexible).
-
Educational Focus: Volunteer-based, with opportunities for course credit. As projects secure funding, pathways to stipends + leadership growth may emerge.

Impact: Join a global network of dreamers and doers. Learn skills in leadership, innovation, tech, storytelling, and regenerative systems.

Fellows learn to facilitate pods, run summer programs, support city pilots, and guide community labs — all using the Systems Change L.A.B. framework.
This is not a traditional internship.
It’s a co‑creative apprenticeship where youth lead, adults support, and communities transform.
