Coming Soon! Signature Fellows Program Application

Each year, a diverse group of Chicago's most promising professionals and leaders are selected as Leadership Greater Chicago Fellows. The 10-month long experience is the area’s premier civic leadership development program, immersing participants in the major socioeconomic issues facing the City of Chicago and the Greater Chicago Region. Since 1983, the LGC Signature Fellows Program has equipped participants with the resources they need to understand how decisions are made, how complex policies are shaped, and how to influence meaningful change. Using the city as a classroom, LGC Fellows learn through interactions with private, public, and nonprofit decision-makers, and work as a group to develop critical thinking, analytical, governance and leadership skills.

The Signature Fellows Application for the Class of 2026 will open this month (October 2024) and close in February 2025. Stay tuned for more details on applying!
