  • Additional Questions

    WAIDF acknowledges that people have different levels of access to opportunities based on their lived experiences. We aim to support individuals who are farthest from power as they develop their careers in public service and civic engagement, and to select a cohort of fellows with diverse backgrounds. To help us meet these goals, please answer the following questions about yourself and/or your lived experience. These questions are entirely optional and your answers will not be shared outside of the candidate selection process.
  • Do you identify as LGBTQIA+?
  • Do you live (or have you ever lived) with a disability (including physical, cognitive, neurodivergence, sensory)?
  • Are you an immigrant or refugee?
  • Are you a parent or caregiver?
  • Have you ever been involved with legal or societal systems such as the criminal justice system, foster care, or child welfare?
  • Have you ever experienced poverty or basic needs insecurity?
  • Are you a veteran or current member of the military?
  • Do you belong to a union?
  • Have you ever applied to WAIDF in the past?
