Our Programs

Connecting and Cultivating Leaders

Leadership development and capacity building

The IFE Senior Leadership Fellowship, which was launched in 2019, aims to put more Black learners on the path to success by increasing the number of innovative Black leaders across the education ecosystem who are well-positioned to support these learners. The Fellowship is intentionally cross-sector and targets Black-identified education executives in senior leadership roles with 10+ years of work experience. IFE provides Fellows with a customized set of experiences to increase their leadership networks and competencies. Fellows engage in regular learning sessions; receive mentorship, coaching, and consultancy from accomplished executives across the education ecosystem; attend premier education industry gatherings and summits; and join a tight-knit, engaged community of Black leaders connected and striving toward education equity.

Sector-specific Cohorts

In addition to our fellowship, IFE now also has a sector-specific Cohort Program, an innovative six-month leadership development engagement designed specifically for Black C-Suite leaders. Our program is committed to fostering a strong sense of community and connection among participants, offering both intentional and organic avenues for collaboration, and providing individualized and confidential coaching to support personal and professional growth.
