The Quaker Voice Legislative Fellowship Program encourages the active engagement of fellowship holders in the state legislative process through mentorship, skill development, and partnering with legislative advocates in their work. Participants do not need to be Quakers. The program provides a $500 stipend. The application deadline is October 20.
Quaker Voice Legislative Fellows are young adults ages 16-35 who live or study in the state of Washington (or outside Washington if recommended by a Quaker Meeting), Each Fellow joins a group working to support action in the Washington state legislature on issues in environment, police and prisons, healthcare, affordable housing, immigrant and LGBTQ+ rights, and other justice concerns. The Fellow develops background materials and tracks legislation, in partnership with a mentor who is already a Quaker Voice citizen advocate. Each fellow has an opportunity to see in depth how a lobbyist works by shadowing Paul Benz, our Senior Legislative Advocate, for a day. Travel costs to Olympia for Quaker Lobby Day and the shadow day are covered by the program.
