Why you matter

Leadership Coaches are integral to the Braven course. They help students navigate and understand the curriculum while using their own real-world insights to bring it to life.

The time commitment

Being part of Braven’s most high-impact program includes dedicated training, onboarding, and support. While the commitment is significant, Leadership Coaches routinely share that as much as they give, they gain twice as much. Even more, participating advances their own careers in ways they never expected.

Fellows are college students who are building the skills, confidence, and networks they need to launch strong careers after graduation. Most take the Braven course for credit, while others receive a stipend. The majority are the first in their family to go to college and/or have limited financial resources.
