Internet Law and Policy Foundry - Fellowship Applications Open

[Veronica Torres]

Applications are now open for the next class of Internet Law & Policy Foundry Fellows!

The Internet Law & Policy Foundry (http://www.ilpfoundry.us/) is a collaborative collection of early-career Internet law and policy professionals passionate about technology and disruptive innovation. The Foundry offers members a platform for professional development, constructive debate, and network-building within a cohort of skilled attorneys and policy analysts eager to help shape the development of Internet law and policy.

Foundry Fellows are select early career professionals and students who run the Foundry. Foundry Fellows are chosen by current Fellows through a competitive application process. Foundry Fellowships allow Fellows to focus on demonstrating their passion for, and understanding of, Internet law and policy. Foundry Fellows gain a valuable network of Internet law and policy professionals and have the opportunity to work together to change the landscape of technology policy on a national and global scale.

Foundry Fellows are expected to be active participants in setting the strategy and operations of the Foundry, including:

• Serving on Foundry committees: Events, Admissions, Outreach, Content, and other committees that will develop over time.

• Organizing, participating in, and contributing to Foundry events. (More information on our past events here: http://www.ilpfoundry.us/events/) Fellows can leverage the infrastructure of the Foundry including its partners, event spaces, the Foundry’s website and social media reach, membership and contact lists, and planning expertise.

• Providing content for the Foundry’s website and social media accounts. Check out our website blog: http://www.ilpfoundry.us/updates/ and Medium blog: https://medium.com/@ILPFoundry.

• Outreach to the technology law and policy community, and to the tech community at large.

Fellows serve for a term of two years and receive complimentary admission to the Foundry’s public, fee-based events (if any) for the duration of their term. Fellows have access to private communication channels for networking and planning purposes, and participate in regular in-person or virtual planning meetings and can join the Foundry’s LinkedIn group to network with our larger community.

To apply, visit: http://www.ilpfoundry.us/join/#fellows. Applications for the incoming 2017 class of Foundry Fellows are due September 9, 2016. The Foundry Admissions Committee reviews all fellowship applications and recommendations on a rolling basis during admissions cycles. Letters of recommendation (optional) may be emailed to il...@foundry.us.

Please contact il...@foundry.us for any questions regarding your application.

Veronica,

Are these Fellowships paid? What cities are events held in (we have many chapters)? 

Thanks!

Hi Rebecca - 

These are unpaid fellowships. However, it is not a fellowship in the traditional sense. The Fellows all have full time positions and contribute to the Foundry by organizing learning or socializing events or contributing direct content. For example, I am involved in developing privacy learning content and a mentorship program. 

We also work with partners for access to traditionally cost prohibitive (for young professionals) conferences and events.

The Foundry, in my opinion, is what you make of it. I think it's a great platform that offers support and encouragement for the things you are passionate about. 

Our main hubs are DC, NYC, and San Francisco. But we are open to applicants from anywhere.
