Rockefeller Foundation Redevelopment
Fellowship placements are sought in each of the organization types
that play major roles in the implementation of public/private redevelopment
projects. Organizations that employ fellows are primarily focused
on work at the local level in New Orleans. To the extent that capacity
and funding is available, fellowship placements with broader regional
or state-wide impact may also be considered. Employers participating
in the Rockefeller Foundation Redevelopment Fellowship either receive
referrals of fellowship candidates from the Center for new jobs,
or nominate existing employees in appropriate positions for fellowships.
Participating employers include:
- Development organizations.
- Government agencies and authorities responsible for redevelopment
funding and/or implementation.
- Financial institutions investing in affordable and mixed income
housing, or distressed-area commercial development, or supporting
reinvestment in other ways.
- Organizations playing other types of direct roles in the redevelopment
process, such as manufactured housing production and investment
and philanthropic organizations focused on individual neighborhood
redevelopment initiatives.

Although job titles and specific responsibilities vary among individual
Rockefeller Foundation Redevelopment Fellowship placements, all
fellows are in positions that contribute directly to the redevelopment
process. Fellows’ roles also have specific project content,
requiring fellows to:
- Interpret their organizations’ general programs, guidelines
and roles in the context of particular projects; engage with partner
organizations playing different roles in the redevelopment process,
and resolve issues.
- Coordinate decisions, resources and action from their organizations
on specific projects or investments.
- Develop policies and program structure that inform organizational
involvement in specific projects.
