Leadership Development

Through Nurture, Aliento creates intentional leadership development and student engagement programming of the organization that is part of our education initiatives. Aliento works with high schools, community colleges, and universities to increase youth agency, leadership, and self-advocacy. Our programs offer paid fellowships and internships for school credit to help create and develop student hubs at high schools, colleges, and universities across Arizona. Every student is a leader, but through our programs, we aim to nurture their leadership potential.

Arizona Future Fellowship

Our Arizona’s Future Fellowship is a transformative leadership development program for all students regardless of immigration status. Fellows work within their schools to practice self-advocacy skills and implement the organizing principles. During their monthly cohort trainings, Fellows are provided with weekly 1:1 coaching with ALIENTO's experienced team! Together, they work towards creating safe spaces and sharing stories of those impacted by immigration within their schools and their communities by leading within ALIENTO's campaigns.

Applications are closed for now—stay tuned for future updates!
