Transform local communities while kickstarting your career through Lead for North Carolina, a prestigious paid fellowship placing recent graduates in local government roles. Join NC State alumni fellows and LFNC leadership to discover how you can make an impact across North Carolina's public institutions. All students are welcome to attend an information session hosted by the School of Public and International Affairs' Department of Political Science. The 2025-26 fellowship applications will open in February.

As part of AmeriCorps, LFNC fellows receive competitive compensation while gaining hands-on leadership experience in public service. Learn how you can be part of North Carolina's next generation of transformational leaders.
