Unleashing the potential of experienced leaders to help solve society's most pressing challenges.
Providing world-class education, skill building, and collaboration opportunities.
The Advanced Leadership Initiative (ALI) is an innovative academic program designed to unleash the potential of experienced leaders to help solve society’s most pressing challenges. As a university-wide initiative, ALI draws upon the expertise of all of Harvard’s professional schools and academic departments.
ALI Fellows come to Harvard and embark on a year-long immersion in inter-disciplinary academic learning, leadership development, and peer-to-peer collaboration to develop a social impact strategy focused on their issue of choice. Participants in the ALI program become part of a vibrant community of changemakers who continue learning, collaborating, and innovating for impact.
The ALI Fellowship
The Advanced Leadership Initiative Fellowship is designed to enhance and leverage the skills of highly accomplished, experienced leaders who want to apply their talents to solve significant social problems, including those affecting health and welfare, children and the environment, and focus on community and public service in the next phase of their careers.
The selection process
The ALI Fellowship is for executive-level leaders with diverse experiences and backgrounds and at least 20 years of leadership experience. These leaders can be from any field or profession but are united in their commitment to make a significant difference in the world as they move on to a new life phase.
Introduce yourself
Candidates for the fellowship should be motivated to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing communities around the world. They should recognize the value that engagement with Harvard University can add as they prepare for their next phase of life’s work.
“The ALI program was the single most impactful thing I have done in my life.”
