The current cohort of Data Fellows is working on a subsequent research project to advance the findings in our first report and investigate different facets of student readiness and/or the specific needs of students from varying backgrounds.To support our understanding of the unique experiences of justiceimpacted students we are looking to hire a fifth Data Fellow to join our team. The new Fellow would join our current projects and lead our research on the educational experiences of justiceinvolved students over the course of the next year and a half culminating with a finished report and presentation in the spring of 2026. Partnered with our Advocacy Fellows the new Data Fellow would help to increase awareness around the unmet needs of justiceimpacted students ultimately supporting college enrollment retention and graduation rates for justiceinvolved students. Uniquely the new Data Fellow would join the team from January of 2025 until June of 2026 and would participate in two Youth Council cohorts.
