get done in order to ensure that our future is successful:
heart and lung work, not appendages."
- Gerald Chertavian, CEO and Founder, Year Up
New Sector’s Residency in Social Enterprise
and Summer Fellows Programs
New Sector’s Residency in Social Enterprise and Summer Fellows
programs give social impact organizations the opportunity to
deepen their impact by leveraging the top talent from the
academic, business, and nonprofit sectors. Through participation
in the Residency and Summer Fellows programs, today’s leading
organizations gain full-time access to the enterprising minds of
tomorrow, as well as support from professional services firms
including Accenture, Bain & Company, The Bridgespan Group,
The Boston Consulting Group, Deloitte, and McKinsey &
Company. Residents and Fellows work on-site at hosting
organizations for the duration of the program to produce
immediate results and enhance long-term capacity.
In the current challenging economic environment, New Sector
helps your organization accelerate social change by providing
you with the talent and tools you need to take your impact to the
next level.
HOW DO THE PROGRAMS WORK?
Becoming a New Sector Host Site
There is no “application process” to become a Host Site organization. New
Sector works collaboratively with key staff at potential Host Site
organizations to scope strategic projects critical to their individual missions
and to create position descriptions and preliminary workplans for each
Resident or Fellow.
Host Sites contribute $35,000 per Resident and $3,000 per Summer Fellow.
These fees allow New Sector to enroll each Resident and Fellow as an
AmeriCorps member and to cover basic costs including living stipends and
benefits for participants, training and materials, and New Sector program
management staff and consultant advisor support. All Residents and
Fellows are on New Sector’s payroll.
Over the course of the program
Selecting your Resident or Fellow
Based on the agreed upon position description, New Sector will match you
with the most qualified candidate who is also the best fit for your
organizational culture. Each potential Host Site organization will participate
in an individualized interview process with Resident and Fellow candidates
in order to make a mutual match. Once matched, a signed contract and the
first quarterly payment are due to New Sector.
Residents and Fellows serve full-time, on-site at Host Site organizations
throughout the program, except when they are participating in training or
reflection activities. Participants meet weekly with their consultant advisors.
Each New Sector program begins with an intensive kick-off training for
participants and wraps up with a dedicated reflection period. Additionally,
Residents and Fellows participate in biweekly trainings (one afternoon
every two weeks) from 3-6pm.
Residency in Social Enterprise (1 year): September August
Summer Fellows (10 weeks): June August
WHY HOST A RESIDENT OR FELLOW?
...because New Sector provides unparalleled professional
advising, training, and support.
• Each Resident and Fellow is paired with a consultant advisor from
one of our partner firms - including Accenture, Bain & Company,
The Boston Consulting Group, The Bridgespan Group,
Deloitte , and McKinsey & Company - to provide experienced
support in strategic processes and to help your organization “get
things done” throughout the duration of the program
...because hosting a Resident or Fellow is an accessible, affordable,
and effective way for organizations to prioritize strategic initiatives
with minimal strain on precious resources.
• Your Resident or Fellow will be exceptionally bright,
analytical, a self-starter, and a proven leader
• Residents and Fellows are prepared to hit the ground running
• Created with input from top practitioners and academics,
including notable contribution from Harvard Business School
faculty
• Covers topics such as accounting and performance
management, finance, leadership and organizational behavior,
marketing, and technology and operations management
• Tools and techniques tailored specifically to be leveraged by
social impact organizations ready to further their impact
...because New Sector’s “Mini-MBA” curriculum culls best
practices from leading business schools, professional services
firms, and social sector practitioners to increase your
organization’s impact.

New Sector does not recruit for any particular educational or experiential
background. Instead, we look for applicants who have demonstrated a
strong commitment to civic engagement, proven their ability to take
initiative and achieve measurable results, and who can
communicate and collaborate effectively. By creating a diverse
cohort of analytical, action-oriented minds with a common goal of
furthering social impact, we ensure our ability to find outstanding
candidates for any Host Site organization.
Our Residents and Fellows and their consultant advisors share a
common desire to make a difference through experiences that will be
both inspiring and intellectually challenging. Though each participant brings
individual experiences and qualifications to the group, we strive to bring
together a pool of candidates that seeks to learn from, as well as contribute
to, their Host Site organizations and their peers.
