MARIN CITY, CA — September 17, 2021 — Announced earlier this month, Marin County Cooperation Team’s (MCCT) Executive Director, Jahmeer Reynolds has been selected as a 2021 Echoing Green Fellow. Since 1987, Echoing Green has supported the growth and leadership of emerging social entrepreneurs through its signature fellowship program that equips leaders with access to seed funding, strategic partnerships, and lifelong connections to a global network of leading philanthropists, investors, and entrepreneurs.
Jahmeer Reynolds is one of 18 Fellows joining a global community that counts former First Lady Michelle Obama, Last Mile Health co-founder Raj Panjabi, GirlTrek co-founders T. Morgan Dixon and Vanessa Garrison, and Creative Reaction Lab founder Antionette Carroll among its alumni.
“Echoing Green creates a synergy between visionaries that lightens the load associated with Freedom Fighting. Pulling ideas from international counterparts can enhance our service to be more reflective and responsive to effectively serve people of color with a more intentional cultural component.” said Jahmeer Reynolds.
Selected from a global pool of 1,500 applicants, Jahmeer Reynolds joins the inaugural class supported by Echoing Green’s Racial Equity Philanthropic Fund, launched in July 2020 to ensure social innovators are supported to sustain their impact on racial equity around the globe. From creating spaces of affirmation for Black youth in the U.S. to leveraging technology to address gaps in health care for displaced populations in the Middle East and Africa, members of the 2021 class are advancing racial justice worldwide.
“We know that transforming the world requires an intentional, explicit, and long-term focus on advancing racial equity and we are thrilled to support these next-generation innovators who are proximate to the issues and of their communities,” said Echoing Green President and 1992 Fellow Cheryl L. Dorsey, “It is a true privilege to be a part of their journeys as they collectively reimagine the world.”
The 2021 Echoing Green Fellows work in nine different countries and territories (Kenya, Libya, Malawi, Mexico, Myanmar, Oman, Puerto Rico, Somalia, and the United States) and U.S. cities including Nashville, Oakland, Flagstaff, and Washington, D.C.
