What if the biggest thing standing between your community and real change was just… not knowing this existed?
Google has partnered with Watson Institute to offer a fully funded AI Fellowship for community leaders, people already doing the hard work on the ground.
No tech background required. Just a local problem you care about and the drive to solve it.
Fellows get:
🤖 AI skills training built for real-world impact
🧠 Expert mentorship from practitioners at Google, Mastercard & beyond
💰 A $1,000 community development stipend
🎤 A chance to pitch at a live Summit to investors and Google leaders
🌐 Lifetime access to a global alumni network
Past fellows have used this to build AI tools for disaster relief, immigration services, workforce training, and more; raising millions and creating thousands of jobs in communities just like yours.
Program runs September 2026 – January 2027, virtually.
Priority deadline: July 12, 2026.
Locations: Select communities across GA, SC, IA, IN, VA, TX, NE, OK + UK, Netherlands & Finland.
If this isn’t you, it might be someone you know. Share it forward. 💙
