Martinez Fellowship Fellowship Fellowship
We recruit, develop, and empower educators of color in Washington state.
Through our programming, Fellows move beyond sustaining themselves as educators and grow into thriving and transformational educators for liberation.
We do this by supporting them through personal and professional growth and by maximizing opportunities to increase their overall representation in Washington state.
Our holistic approach equips them with critical tools, resources, and community to thrive during and beyond their first years of teaching.
Supported. Sustained. Retained.

We prepare teachers to lead
for liberation in education.
We partner with Washington state colleges and universities to provide programming, community, and resources to candidates of color receiving their teaching certification. Candidates must be pursuing a B.A. in Education, a master’s in education, an alternate route to certification, or have recently earned a teaching certification.
Martinez Fellows explore and reflect on the identities that they carry and share in community with other educators and leaders of color through Liberation Pedagogy™. By utilizing this framework, they become experts in how they can then instill and inspire their students and advocate for educational equity within their schools and districts.
