Fellows

Our Fellows are exceptional, mid-career change-makers with a track record in social change initiatives, and experience in Indigenous-focused projects. They are Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders from Australia, Aotearoa and Pacific Nations and they come from a broad range of creative, professional, advocacy and educational backgrounds.

On completion of the foundation program year, Fellows graduate and continue their lifelong journey as Global Atlantic Fellows. This is when opportunities to connect into the global Atlantic Fellows community are available.
