After serving over 350 Fellows and 28 state and local government partners over the last two years, the Paragon Policy Fellowship will be taking a short hiatus from hosting Fellows for Spring 2026.

Since our founding, we have remained deeply committed to developing the next generation of tech policy leaders. The insights and feedback we have gathered from fellows, government partners, and mentors have been invaluable in shaping our program. As we reflect on our impact, we recognize that this is the right moment to step back and invest in meaningful improvements for the Summer 2026 Cohort and beyond.

During the Spring, our Organizing Team is excited to focus on internal initiatives such as new professional development opportunities, expanded government partner outreach, policy workshop refinement, and research and publication programming.

We understand this news may be disappointing to those planning to apply for Spring 2026, and we sincerely appreciate your interest in Paragon. We encourage prospective applicants to stay connected with us through our website and social media channels, where we will share updates about our return in the Summer.

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to what is ahead for Paragon.

 

Stay tuned for updates in 2026!
