Summary: Fellowship supporting mid-career experts from diverse sectors to collaborate on building innovative, cross-sector learning ecosystems in communities.
The Learning Sciences Exchange (LSX) Fellowship, established by the New America Foundation in 2018, is designed to unite mid-career professionals from fields such as education, journalism, learning sciences, media, technology, entertainment, and social-impact startups. The goal is to foster cross-sector collaboration, breaking down traditional silos and encouraging the development of robust, community-based learning ecosystems. These ecosystems may include schools, afterschool programs, libraries, early learning networks, and models that provide youth with pathways during and after high school. The fellowship emphasizes teamwork and innovation to drive positive change in how learning and youth development are approached across local and regional communities.
