Fellows
Meet our empowered global network of leaders making the world a better place for infants and toddlers.
ZERO TO THREE Fellows have the expertise, skills, passion, and commitment to make the world a better place for infants and toddlers.
We offer the premier leadership experience committed to supporting the next generation of early childhood leaders in embracing a courageous, just, and collaborative approach to our shared work.
Our Fellows are diverse professionals across disciplines and sectors who are “change agents” – transforming programs, systems, and policies that impact the lives of young children and their families. Over the 32-year history of the fellowship, more than 300 national and international leaders are alumni of this esteemed network and continue to impact the lives of babies and young children in profound ways. Our alumni maintain lifetime relationships with other Fellows and ZERO TO THREE Board members and Staff through the Academy of ZERO TO THREE Fellows.
My experience was life-changing. It provided the opportunity for me to deepen and expand my understanding of systemic barriers and inequities that families from diverse and marginalized communities must navigate to raise their children. I continue to be driven by the collective goal to integrate principles of diversity, equity and inclusion at all levels of the infant and early childhood mental health field.
Cultivating leaders in early childhood for three decades and counting
The ZERO TO THREE Fellowship is an intense 18-month program that changes lives. Fellows learn as much from each other as they do from the curriculum.
A special message about the power of the Fellowship community from our dear friend, ZERO TO THREE Fellow, and baby champion Yiğit Aksakoğlu.
