The Flight School
​
The Flight School Fellowship helps rising leaders find their people, their power, and their purpose — before setting their life’s course. The Flight School has “gap year” after high school as an accessible and aspirational “Launch Year” helping students fill in the gaps left by academic instruction. Each year, they gather diverse Fellows from around the world and scaffold self-directed experiences with transformative supports — cohorts, coaching, and courses.
The Practice Institute @
Asian Art Museum
The Practice Institute is a multidisciplinary platform for visiting talents to reimagine museum models. By prioritizing action, experimentation, and collaboration, fellows infuse innovation and risk-taking into every museum activity — current and potential. The engagement is visible in ways that are specific to how the institution already functions, making it far more likely that they are successfully adopted or implemented for new practices and narratives.
