We’re thrilled to introduce our third cohort of 2025 Blog-Build Intensive Fellows!

This year’s fellows are a group of 31 progress writers selected from a pool of over 400 impressive applicants. In our third year of the program, the quality of applicants has yet again gone up. Over ¼ of applicants merited a first round interview, and we had 51 finalists

They are scientists, urbanists, economists, lawyers, farmers, professors, policy-makers, builders, entrepreneurs and storytellers. They hail from the U.S., Canada, Ireland, the U.K., and Germany; they speak English, French, Mandarin, Farsi, Hindi, Korean, German, and Spanish.
