FELLOWSHIPS
MI Mobility Fellows Program 2026-2027
We’re excited to announce that Groundwork has an open fellowship position for 2026-2027! We are looking for a recent graduate interested in community transportation solutions. The Fellow will work closely with Groundwork’s Transportation and Community Design team for 15 months on a project to support passenger rail planning efforts across Michigan. The Fellow’s primary responsibility will be to assess and strengthen last-mile transportation connections in station communities along the proposed North+South Passenger Rail corridor. This work will help ensure that future rail service is accessible, climate-friendly, and well-integrated into the communities it serves. This project-based fellowship is ideal for someone interested in transportation, community design, and climate action.
This fellowship is managed by the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM), in partnership with Michigan Central, and with support from the State of Michigan’s Office of Future Mobility and Electrification.
This is a full-time, salaried, 15-month position beginning June 2026. Fellows will also have opportunities for training, professional development, and networking. The deadline to apply is March 31st.
