DEPLOY Fellows' Capstone Projects

DEPLOY Fellows train and lead initiatives in both chapter and national roles. In these roles, they address a wide range of impact areas, including community organizing, bilingual community engagement, outdoor programming, youth programming, financial insecurity research, military spouse employment, cybersecurity, government relations, and more. As a critical component of their training, Fellows complete capstone projects aligned with their chosen area of study.
