McCabe Impact Fellowship
Empowering Scholars to become changemakers through hands-on leadership and impact-driven experiences

The Pat McCabe Impact Fellowship

RTS Scholars are eager to make real change and bring their voice and ideas to social impact organizations. However, learning experiences like these are often limited and unpaid.The McCabe Impact Fellowship solves this problem by providing paid experiences with innovative partners. Founded in 2020, this program provides select RTS Scholars with paid project-based fellowships. Participants gain critical work experience and build their professional networks while our non-profit/impact host sites gain essential support and early access to career talent.

Testimonials

“If there was an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10 that’s how strongly we feel about recommending the service program to other organizations seeking fellows. We were beyond thrilled with our RTS Fellow, from the first point of contact they were professional and willing to learn.”

Kristina Haddad, Executive Director at Seventh Generation Advisors

"We have been a host site for 3 years and we look forward to participating for many more years to come. The RTS fellows gave us a total of 1,600 hours of work - creating an incredible amount of work in a short amount of time. It is a win-win program for everyone."

Beth Ryan, Executive Director & Founder of Stepping Forward LA

“RTS offers an incredible Fellowship Program, through which we had the privilege of hosting a Social Media Intern. Yvette was nothing short of amazing, bringing optimism, grace, and a strong work ethic to each day. Hollywood CPR deeply appreciates RTS for creating a lasting impact within the community!”

“Over the course of the summer, Abby made many valuable contributions to our team, including taking a leading role in securing a $150,000 grant for our organization! It was a pleasure to work with a young professional that is so dedicated to their work and personal and professional growth. I will always be one of Abby's strongest supporters and look forward to continuing to be a professional contact and mentor for her in the years to come. The RTS Impact Fellowship team was incredibly supportive, ensuring that we were both set up for success this summer.”
