CLLCTIVLY Announces Second Cohort of the Drs. Elmer + Joanne Martin Social Impact Fellowship

CLLCTIVLY is proud to announce the second cohort of the Drs. Elmer & Joanne Martin Social Impact Fellowship, a groundbreaking initiative equipping Baltimore-based social impact leaders with the tools, resources, and community needed to drive meaningful social change.

Out of 172 applicants, 18 fellows were selected to participate in the program, which runs from October 2025 to March 2026 in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Social Impact Strategy (CSIS). Fellows will receive a $2,000 monthly stipend, designed to honor their leadership and ensure full engagement in the fellowship experience.

This fellowship honors the legacy of Drs. Elmer and Joanne Martin, visionary founders of the National Great Blacks In Wax Museum, whose pioneering research and leadership—including The Helping Tradition in the Black Family and Community and The Black Extended Family—continue to shape social work, education, and community organizing.
