The Humanity in Action Democracy Fellowship brings together a group of diverse leaders from the European Union, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States who spend one year creating projects that reinvent democratic spaces. Each year, the Fellowship focuses on a different set of democratic challenges. Democracy Fellows are young professionals with demonstrated leadership experience.

As part of the program, each Democracy Fellow receives a stipend of a total of 10,000 Euro (paid out in monthly installments). Additionally, they receive up to 5,000 Euro in seed funding for the implementation of their project idea. All training expenses are covered, as are travel and accommodation costs for the in-person Action Academy.
