About

The Share Meals Trailblazers is a pilot program where undergraduate students learn the skills to plan, communicate, and execute change in social impact areas they are passionate about. They attend closely crafted workshops and travel across the country to lead workshops themselves.

Our mission is to empower the upcoming generation of students with the theoretical frameworks as well as practical experience needed to make significant contributions to the social impact space. Fellows serve actively for 6 months and then join as alumni and mentors for the next year’s class.

Skills Fellows Learn

  • Public Speaking
  • Design Thinking
  • Research Methodology
  • Grant Writing
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Business Plan Development

Our Open Source Philosophy

We want to empower as many undergraduate students as possible to become effective leaders for social change. That's why all of our digital resources and workshops will be free and open to the NYU community, whether they are Trailblazers or not. Fellows will, however, get priority consideration at all times and funding support.
