Grow Professionally

Our Accelerate Fellowship gives students the entrepreneurial skills necessary to tackle real world problems and make positive change. We bring two cohorts a year to the local San Bruno business district to implement projects that help to activate the downtown.
 
Projects will be informed by community needs and will include topics such as business district marketing, facade improvement, bringing events to the downtown area, and implementing street scaping.
 
Through the fellowship, students develop communication and critical-thinking skills, along with policy, design, and project management through real-life, hands-on learning. The cohort structure gives students weekly time to practice complex decision-making, get active feedback from each other and practice creative problem solving in a collaborative setting. The local community benefits from student’s implementation of new projects.
