It's official! Twenty leaders across seven Arizona counties are finally Monzón Fellowship Alums! They joined the 60 alumni in our Instituto Alumni Power Network. A couple of weeks ago, they received their certificates and Arcosanti bells during a joyous and heartening graduation ceremony. We're excited to see them regain all the skills and knowledge they will take back to their work and communities. You can see the Monzón magic in our new blog if you missed it! Congratulations to our 2023 Monzón Fellow alums!

The power of grassroots organizations to make a difference in local communities is undeniable. From providing resources to those in need to leading campaigns for social justice and environmental advocacy, grassroots organizations are at the forefront of positive change within and beyond Arizona.

The 2023 and third Monzón cohort represent seven counties from Navajo to Yuma County, and their backgrounds span from former elected officials to nonprofit directors to community organizers. Please welcome and meet the 21 Monzón Fellows of 2023, know their stories of community impact, and what they look forward to in this fellowship.
