Thank you for your interest in being a part of the 2026 cohort. The Natural Helpers Fellowship helps bridge resource gaps to city services within Maine's diverse communities, further strengthening the skills of local leaders who often serve as first points of contact for friends, family, and neighbors seeking support.


Over the course of the four-month program, Fellows develop essential skills in cross-cultural communication, advocacy, and navigating community resources, empowering them to better serve as leaders in their communities.

Applications are now closed for our 2026 cohort.

Applications for the 2027 Natural Helpers Fellowship will open in Fall 2026.

Please join our mailing list to stay up-to-date on next year’s Natural Helpers application process.
