The Orbis Fellowship is an intentional co-living space for young leaders to develop both personally and professionally, supporting them to engage with and mobilize their communities. We do this through house meetings, executive coaching, skill building workshops, community events, and mentorship. All programming is designed to address our key objectives.
The program cost is $1,000 - $1,200/month, which includes housing, utilities, and executive coaching. 5 bedrooms are $1,000/month while the top floor bedroom is $1,200, as it includes a private bathroom and kitchenette.
Our fellows come from all walks of life. Fellows have been educators, artists, community organizers, nonprofit leaders, therapist, design strategists, and researchers, to name a few. They have worked across a wide range of issues, including education, politics, refugee support, food security, DACA renewal, law, policy, DEIB, mental health, and more.
This fellowship is for you if you are seeking to grow as an individual, in community. Orbis is special because of the unique opportunity to put a great deal of intention in personal growth while being interconnected to others doing the same. If you are interested in bettering yourself in an effort to better your community, this is for you!
After their time at Orbis, fellows have gone on to become founders of nonprofits, Chief Financial Officers, Executive Directors, organization and school leaders, and lawyers, to name a few. Orbis is here to support leaders achieve their own unique goals, which look different for everyone.
Six Fellows living at The House.

The Fellowship is a minimum of one year commitment with an opportunity to recommit. Fellows can continue living at Orbis for a number of years if they continue to align with the mission and values of the program.
Because it is disruptive to the Fellowship cohort when someone leaves early, we recommend that you apply when you commit to completing at least an entire year of residency. If you need to leave early due to unforeseen circumstances, we will work with you, but we require 60 days advance notice of any plans to move out.
Fellows should plan to dedicate five hours per week for Orbis activities. This is a general guideline. If things come up at work or life that prevent you from participating in an activity every now and then, we get it.
The Orbis Fellowship is not a paid fellowship. However, Fellows will receive executive coaching, skill building workshops, and access to an incredible network of change-makers across Colorado. Fellows are young professionals who are already working and choose to live at the Orbis House because they want to participate in the program and become part of the Orbis community.
