Building Collective Leadership

The Apiary Fellowship is a leadership program that brings together early childhood development professionals who are passionate about transforming the sector. Fellows collaborate to envision changes that directly benefit all children, families, and communities, now and in the future.

Through a one-year commitment, fellows participate in group convenings and workshops where they share knowledge and learn a new way of thinking and doing.

"I joined [The Apiary] to give my people a voice and to advocate for a more equitable continent full of opportunities for our jarjums and communities. I also advocate for my co-workers who are overworked, underappreciated and underpaid within our sector.”

Lisa Walker, 2019 Fellow, asked about why she joined The Apiary

 

“I’m interested in mental models – understanding values, beliefs, and perspectives that people bring into this work... identifying where power dynamics exist and highlighting where they do or don’t work. I’m also primarily interested in connecting with different people and the Apiary, as a “movement”, offers the opportunity to do this on a personal level as well as professionally.”

Jamie Hodgson, 2023 Fellows, asked about motivations for getting involved with The Apiary
