The California Impact Fellowship Program is designed to provide a comprehensive experience over the course of a semester. Although we highly encourage full-time commitment, the fellowship offers flexibility to accommodate your schedule and academic responsibilities.

Your responsibilities will extend beyond financial analysis, as you will assist us in marketing funds and raising capital. This holistic experience will give you a comprehensive understanding of impact investing and venture capital, while allowing you to contribute to the mission of deploying capital with social and environmental impact.

The California Impact Fund Fellowship Program offers an in-person experience while providing flexibility for fellows to engage in remote work if needed. We strongly encourage fellows to maximize their time in our San Francisco office, which offers unparalleled opportunities for networking, mentorship, and collaboration with our team. We believe face-to-face interactions foster a dynamic learning environment and enhance the overall fellowship experience.

We are seeking collaborative, self-driven individuals who are eager to learn, adapt, and embrace challenges. Our culture values diversity, recognizing the strength that comes from different backgrounds and perspectives. This internship opportunity is ideal for students who are academically excellent, entrepreneurial, and passionate about creating positive change. As a fellow, you will have the chance to make a real impact, gain practical skills, and contribute to venture capital funds focused on addressing California's pressing challenges.

No, experience in the venture capital space is not required to excel in the California Impact Fellowship. We welcome applicants from all academic backgrounds who are passionate about creating positive change. We have had students from a range of majors from economics to molecular biology. We look for individuals who are driven, curious, and committed to making a difference.
