Executive Fellowship

Since 2010, OneJustice’s Executive Fellowship program has trained more than 400 leaders of legal services and nonprofit legal organizations, throughout California and nationwide. 

While their experience spans diverse issues, Executive Fellows are united in their deep commitment to equity and justice. Through the Executive Fellowship’s 10-month intensive program, a diverse class of new executive directors and other emerging leaders learn core leadership and management skills that will help expand the capacity of their nonprofit legal organizations to serve their clients.

Executive Fellowship trainings cover topics such as leadership styles, leading your team, managing change, linking money to mission, strategic budgeting and financial storytelling, and great communications. Unique to the Executive Fellowship, participating leaders learn from experienced trainers and facilitators as well as from each other, and allExecutive Fellows work on an individual capstone project tackling an issue specific to their role and the distinct needs of their organization.

Fellowship graduates are driving transformative and innovative justice in legal services as well as philanthropy, academia, government, and the judiciary.

For 2025-2026, to allow for maximum participation during a time of great uncertainty, OneJustice will offer a fully virtual Executive Fellowship.
