CivicAction’s DiverseCity Fellows is one of North America’s leading programs for potential civic-minded leaders. With over 300 graduates, this year-long leadership program enables Fellows to build key civic leadership competencies, accelerate their networks, and drive change in their communities.
CivicAction is delighted to announce its newest cohort of DiverseCity Fellows, from diverse communities
and backgrounds to actively strengthen their journey to even greater leadership.
The DiverseCity Fellows Program, now in its thirteenth year, has made a significant impact on civic
leadership across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. This year’s cohort represents an exceptional
group of talented individuals, each with a unique perspective and a strong commitment to driving
positive change in their communities.
“We are excited to welcome this year’s 29 inspired DiverseCity Fellows,” said Leslie Woo, CEO of
CivicAction. “The future of our cities relies on strengthening the capacity of today’s rising leaders.
Our mission to build better, more inclusive cities is anchored in the belief that great leaders build great
cities.”
The DiverseCity Fellows Program provides Fellows with a comprehensive year-long leadership
experience that includes mentorship, leadership development, exploration of major urban challenges
and solutions and expansion of their cross-sectoral connections. Participants will gain personalized
leadership development plans, access self-assessment tools, learn from experienced city builders, and
forge lasting connections with established civic leaders.
The 2023 cohort includes Fellows from across the community, non-profit, private, and public sectors, who
are poised to make a lasting impact in their respective fields and communities. CivicAction is committed to boosting civic engagement and building better, more inclusive cities, and the DiverseCity Fellows program is a vital step toward achieving this goal.
