We are excited to announce the ROOT Continuous Sabbatical Fellowship! This fellowship offers three-month-long sabbaticals to 10 Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) movement leaders in Minnesota. ROOT (Reclaiming Our Own Time) recognizes the need to take care and reclaim our own lives from the demands of the world. Our vision is to gift deep-rest opportunities to BIPOC folks in Minnesota who create and nurture community change. Fellows will choose the three-month period that works best for them between September 2024 and September 2025.
10 applicants who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly selected. They will:
- Receive up to $30,000 to support their sabbatical plans
- Join workshops to deepen their commitment to rest
- Work with coaches, healing practitioners & other guides
- Stay connected through monthly calls and gatherings
- Receive rest-related resources
- Reflect and connect at program-end retreat
Applications open Monday, Aug. 5 and close Monday, Aug. 26 at 11:59 p.m. See eligibility guidelines, sign up for informational sessions, and view the sample application on our program page!
