America Walks is excited to announce that applications to join this year’s Walking College fellowship class are open now through the end of February. Now in its tenth year, the Walking College is America Walks’ signature training program aimed at strengthening our grassroots partnerships to achieve safer, healthier, more accessible streets and communities.

The six-month, online program is open to those interested in honing their skills and understanding around improving community design to achieve greater livability and access. Participants are paired with Walking College alumni and experienced leaders and peers working across the country. They learn the history of America’s transportation landscape, the basics of people-first design and policy, and fundamental leadership skills. Over the course of the program, fellows also identify an opportunity they hope to tackle in their communities and develop a blueprint for taking meaningful action to make a difference.

We welcome all candidates demonstrating a general understanding of and interest in the importance of walkability and a desire to become more effective to improve walkability. There are no restrictions on age or professional background, but we prioritize those applying in teams of 2-3 people and, this year, those representing rural communities that lack access to places to walk.

The fellowship begins in early May and ends in September. Participants are expected to:

*	attend a one-hour online discussion forum meeting with their assigned group once every three weeks
*	participate in a virtual coaching session with their mentor once every three weeks
*	complete an action plan that outlines a problem and series of steps for improving walkability in their community by the end of the term
