AI Fellowship $85,000

Anthropic has launched Claude Corps, a new fellowship program aimed at helping mission-driven organizations across the United States adopt and implement artificial intelligence tools. Developed in partnership with CodePath and Social Finance, the initiative plans to train 1,000 early-career professionals to use Anthropic's Claude AI platform and place them with nonprofits, museums, conservation groups, and other organizations seeking to leverage AI to advance their missions.

Selected fellows will participate in a one-year, full-time program funded by Anthropic. Participants will receive AI training through CodePath, work directly with host organizations on AI-related projects, and receive ongoing mentorship and technical support throughout the fellowship.

The program is open to applicants aged 18 and older with less than two years of full-time work experience. No specific educational background is required. Candidates will be evaluated based on their AI experience, communication skills, and interest in addressing societal challenges.

Claude Corps — a partnership between CodePath and Anthropic — places early-career fellows inside nonprofits, government agencies, and public-interest organizations for a year to put AI to work on problems that matter. Fellows embed full-time at a host organization — building real solutions with Claude, teaching the people around them to do the same, and leaving behind something that keeps running after they're gone.

The first cohort begins October 19, 2026. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with a deadline of July 17, 2026 for consideration in the first cohort.

About the Role
Over a year, embedded at a single organization, you'll do whatever moves the needle for your host — and that will look different month to month. We're looking for utility players: people who can build, teach, scope, and translate — and who don't treat any of that work as beneath them. The hard part is doing excellent work inside an organization that has stakeholders who have difficult constraints and less experience working with Claude.

Responsibilities
Discover and scope. Spend real time understanding what your host organization actually needs. Pull usage data, talk to the people doing the work, and define projects in sprints with clear outcomes.

Build with Claude. Ship working solutions — agents, automations, internal tools, evaluation harnesses, integrations — that make a process faster, cheaper, or possible for the first time. Some of this will be ambitious; some will be a dashboard or a tracker that just needs to exist.

Enable the organization. Run trainings for mixed technical and non-technical audiences. Turn three or four colleagues into the people others go to with AI questions. Your job isn't done when the tool works — it's done when someone else can own it.

Hand off well. Sit with the person who'll own your work after you leave. Watch them break it. Write the runbook. Make sure it survives you.

Exercise judgment. Catch your own wrong answers. Tell a stakeholder "we shouldn't build that" when it's true. Cut the part of the demo that isn't landing.
