About the role

The Overbrook Foundation offers a Human Rights Fellow position in Democracy and Reproductive Rights, based in New York with hybrid work. The fellowship supports graduate students starting in September 2026 and involves mentoring by senior leadership in philanthropy, with hands-on work on policy and grantmaking strategies. Fellows will manage projects, engage with program staff, and contribute to operations while gaining experience in democracy promotion and reproductive rights advocacy.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
