The Non-Trivial Fellowship provides expert guidance, funding, and a world-class community for teenagers to start solving crucial social issues. Previous projects have worked to make artificial intelligence safe, reduce nuclear threats, and prevent man-made pandemics. We're hiring for two roles to expand our program:
Our mission is to build a community working towards solving the world’s most pressing problems, which we believe are currently existential risks like advanced AI.
We run an online fellowship that helps teenagers start an impactful research, policy, or entrepreneurial project aimed at making a large impact. Fellows receive $500 scholarships, get expert guidance to choose their project, and join a world-class community.
Since launching our first fellowship in December 2022, we've attracted over 25,000 applications, making the Fellowship one of the most selective global programs for teenagers. This wide reach has enabled us to select exceptional participants, who score higher on our admissions tests than the average Harvard undergraduate. Our alumni have already gone on to co-author a report for the UN and secure funding from OP for impactful projects.
Now we aim to scale up, planning to 3.5x by having capacity to support 700 fellows annually by the end of 2024. To do that, we’re growing beyond our team of two. If you think you might be a good fit, apply by January 14th.
