David Miller, Stein Fellowship Chair & Tocqueville Mentor
The Fellowship Program is a year-long immersive leadership and mentorship experience. In collaboration with Big Brothers Big Sisters and Jewish Family and Community Services, 15 Stein Fellows are selected annually through an extensive interview and recommendation process. Each Fellow is then paired with an Achiever’s For Life 6th grade student in partnership with BBBS, for mentorship through the calendar school year. In turn, a member of United Way’s most prestigious Tocqueville Society is matched with a Stein Fellow to develop and hone professional skill sets and cultivate relationships toward a common goal.
It is designed to build leadership capacity, hone core professional development competencies and to create strong relationships with a network of peers and mentors. The program is framed within the context of David and Linda Stein’s desire to build a stronger community through multi-generational relationships and by using United Way’s core values, creating a legacy of leaders in our community. It is focused on identifying, engaging, and developing a diverse group of young professionals who are full time Jacksonville residents and have a desire to prepare for success through a philanthropic lens.

All applicants are required to do the following:
