We Are All Brooklyn

We Are All Brooklyn (WAAB) is a coalition born in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. WAAB includes more than 75 community and faith-based organizations in Brooklyn and brings together leaders from diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds to solve quality of life issues affecting their communities.
The WAAB Fellowship
The We Are All Brooklyn (WAAB) Fellowship is an eight-month leadership development program dedicated to advancing the next generation of Brooklyn’s young diverse leaders and empowering them to become change agents to strengthen Brooklyn. WAAB Fellows are working or volunteering for community, faith-based, government, or non-profit organizations serving Brooklyn.
The WAAB Fellowship teaches and challenges participants to work together. Fellows will learn how they can help communities share resources, manage dynamic tensions, and collaborate on solving problems. Ultimately, they will be able to utilize diversity as an asset to themselves, their agencies, their communities, and Brooklyn as a whole. Fellows participate in monthly professional seminars, personal development trainings, and networking opportunities with key decision-makers in our city.
