Survivor Leadership Opportunities
By survivors, for survivors
Giving survivors the support to become leaders is the final step in our Continuum. By investing resources into our community, we move closer to creating a world of empowered survivors. We run multiple different programs for survivors to become leaders in their own way.
Survivors who have entered our community through Camp Koru or Koru Communities are eligible to apply for leadership opportunities. Programs are designed for those who want to find strength in their survivorship through giving back to this community.
Leadership Opportunities
Become a Farman Fellow
Farman Fellows is a 6-month leadership program (10-15 people) that focuses on further developing purpose, identity, and community for survivors, with an increased commitment to contributing to the work of Project Koru.
Fellows focus on self-discovery, community, cohort projects, and a post-fellowship plan. After completing the program, Fellows will either choose or create a leadership role within the organization that fits their strengths.
You should apply to Farman Fellows if you are….
A survivor who has attended Camp Koru
Interested in giving back to the cancer community
Available to commit 15-20 hours/month for 6 months
Bi-weekly virtual group meetings focused on personal growth and project/program development
1x/month virtual meeting with cohort to update and work on Project Koru project
Willing to donate your time, talent, and support to Project Koru during and post-program
There are 2 fellowship cohorts a year (Spring and Fall). Fellows MUST attend virtual introductory weekend retreat and training, as well as the Farman Fellowship Celebration (end of the commitment ceremony).
All applicants go through an interview process. If you’re ready to take finding strength in your survivorship to the next level, fill out the application below to apply!
***Next cohort starts in 2025, dates TBD***
