Fellowship
Preparations Underway for 2025 Fellowship!
Generation WV’s Fellowship team has been hard at work preparing for the 2025 class, which will be announced soon! The first in–person session this year will be held in the Morgantown/Fairmont area. We’re excited that David Kirk, Fellowship class of 2024, will be hosting the group and leading a panel on young professionals in public service.
“There’s a lot of really exciting activity happening in Marion County, specifically in Fairmont, and a lot of it is led by young people,” Kirk Said. “During my time in the cohort, I constantly wished I could share this progress and the people behind it with my peers. I expressed this to the GenerationWV leadership, and this year I’m helping to plan the 2025 fellowship’s trip to Fairmont! I couldn’t be more excited.”
