Students join NewComm through peer nominations into a rigorous learning community that transforms academic skills into community leadership. Fellows lead funded restoration initiatives with local organizations, while Members work alongside them in collaborative teams, applying Math and English to tackle real neighborhood challenges through research, analysis, and problem-solving.

After launching their projects, Fellows and Members can take on paid consulting roles with companies seeking youth perspectives on business challenges in their fields of interest. Along the way, monthly gatherings at elite educational spaces feature learning circles, Math/English roundtables, Supper Clubs with industry leaders, SAT prep, and career-focused networking.

Students graduate with documented community impact, professional consulting experience, and a powerful network—plus the knowledge that they’ve created pathways for others while building their own influence.
