Reading Progress:

Compassion in Action Fellowship Update

Given the active Coronavirus developments and school closures, along with the many unknowns for the months ahead, we have decided to postpone the Compassion in Action Fellowship until the 2021 – 2022 academic year.

We are deeply grateful to all who have applied, nominated, and shared the Fellowship opportunity with others. The response to our new program has been heartening and inspiring. We sincerely apologize to all those who were hoping to join us for our inaugural year. Our hope is that we can stay actively connected over the year ahead and that many of you will still be part of our first cohort of fellows. We would like to keep the applications and nominations on file and contact everyone who has expressed interest in the Fellowship when we are able to resume programming. If you would like your application or nomination on file discarded, please let us know at fellowship@namchak.org.

Please stay tuned for when we reopen our applications and nominations this fall.

In the meantime, we will be sharing other resources and opportunities for students to help navigate these uncertain times, as well as how to anchor into practice and community in the season ahead. If you’re someone who is still interested in starting a Namchak student chapter on your campus, please let us know at fellowship@namchak.org.

With care & compassion,

the Namchak team

We’re accepting applications and nominations for the 2025-2026 Compassion in Action Fellows Program.

The Compassion in Action Fellows program is a year-long inner & outer change program that supports next-generation leaders in learning meditation practice, building community, and promoting social change. 💟

Inspired by the path of the bodhisattva, awakened beings filled with compassion and committed to ending suffering and benefiting all life. Fellows embark upon a journey that includes personal development, community building, shared learning, and collaborative action as they transform their lives, campus, and society. 🌍

Next-generation leaders ages 18-27 in the United States and Canada who have a meditation practice and commitment to creating inner and outer change are encouraged to apply! If you know an aspiring leader interested in positively impacting the world, consider nominating them for this opportunity.
