El Pomar Fellowship
Developing tomorrow's community leaders...

The El Pomar Fellowship is a highly selective, two-year post-undergraduate leadership training program that develops today’s young professionals into tomorrow’s leaders.  Fellows have the opportunity to pursue personal and professional growth through direct program and project management, community development, and grant-making.  With the values of Respect, Integrity, Teamwork, and Excellence as a foundation the Fellowship emphasizes leadership and professional development; it is designed to bring together highly qualified individuals with diverse backgrounds and interests, and shape them into effective leaders for the public, private and nonprofit sectors.  Fellows operate the foundation’s Community Stewardship Programs, conduct outreach initiatives and bolster the Foundation’s grant-making throughout the state, investing in the people and organizations of Colorado’s urban and rural communities.

Fellows learn by doing and by exploring their personal leadership styles in a supportive and dynamic environment found only on the front lines of philanthropy. Graduates of the program go on to follow a wide variety of career paths including work in the nonprofit, government and business communities.  Click here to check out Fellowship alumni perspectives and Fellowship Trustees...
