Turn Your Passion into Vocation With The NFS Fellowship

There are numerous platforms within Not For Sale that enable an individual to become involvedin the movement. Yet, for those few who want the message of abolition and freedom to become a vocation, nothing compares to the fellowship program.

Our Fellows are invited to join us in Half Moon Bay, CA to learn how to live out their vocation of abolition and freedom. Not For Sale’s Fellowship Program recruits and prepares dedicated individuals to become leaders in the modern-day abolitionist movement. Fellows work alongside National Staff, contributing to numerous projects and gaining dynamic hands-on leadership experience.

It is a six-month program designed to enhance one’s professional experience working in the abolitionist movement in a grassroots campaign.

NFS demands a high level of professionalism and responsibility of all of its fellows, and is committed to providing meaningful training and leadership development for all fellowship participants.

This is an unpaid fellowship, but is an exceptional opportunity to gain experience at an international non-profit with the ambitious mission the end slavery in our lifetime while pursuing a vocation as an abolitionist.

The Fellowship is an unpaid six-month intense training course. Fellows raise support for their living expenses by reaching out to their families and friends. Oftentimes, we have fellows from various parts of the world that do not have an extensive support network. Consider sponsoring a fellow for their six months by CLICKING HERE.

Testimonials

“I am thrilled and grateful that as I end this fellowship training, I am filled with hope, more vision and knowledge.Thanks to all the staff and executive team of the Not For Sale Campaign for this great opportunity”- Davy

“Too often I have noticed I believe myself to be inadequate to speak as an expert on a topic. However, during the Fellowship, I have crafted emails and articles and spoken to countless people in the Freedom Store and have slowly started to realize, “Hey, I actually know I thing or two about this.” I am thankful for this opportunity to look back on a stage in my life and recognize such significant growth in a particular field of knowledge. No matter where I go or end up studying in my life, I know that my continual involvement with Not For Sale has helped intrinsically shape the person I want to become.”- Sarah Davis

“All I knew was I wanted to be a modern day abolitionist, and I hoped Not For Sale could teach me how. What I wasn’t expecting was how infectious the passion, commitment and vision I encountered would be. While I have learned very practical tools when it comes to combatting slavery; like how to recognise slavery in it’s many different forms; how to investigate cases; how to consume more responsibly; how to raise awareness that leads to engagement of the issue; how to work with government, private enterprise, and different forms of civil society to combat slavery more effectively; how to reach out to different communities to use their strengths, talents and resources to be better equipped for the fight – one of the most enduring lessons I’ve learned as part of this fellowship experience is that any efforts will be very limited in its effectiveness without relationship.”- Rebecca Lowe

“This fellowship has afforded me the opportunity to create a musical skit to be used in schools or churches, to assist in developing a Jr. High curriculum, to create a Change Project for schools or other organizations, and to continue to develop an elementary school curriculum.Some of the other projects I’ve worked on have been assisting the Chief Investigator as the Slavery Map Moderator, assisting the International Director with a recent visit from our Thailand Project, and I attended two academies, the Global Forum and attended Soulfest inNew Hampshire”- Benita Hopkins
