The White House Fellows Program, founded in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson at the suggestion of his Health, Education and Welfare Secretary John W. Gardner, is America’s most prestigious program for leadership and public service, offering exceptional men and women first-hand experience working at the highest levels of the federal government. White House Fellows typically spend a year working as full-time, paid special assistants to senior White House Staff, the Vice President, Cabinet Secretaries and other top-ranking government officials. Fellows also participate in a once-in-a-lifetime education program
consisting of off-the-record, roundtable discussions with renowned leaders from the private and public sectors, and take trips to study leaders and policy in action both domestically and internationally. Fellowships are awarded on a strictly non-partisan basis.
Now in its 50th year, the program has fostered a legacy of leadership, with nearly 600 alumni who are respected leaders in a variety of fields and professions. Alumni include former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, General Wesley Clark, Senator Sam Brownback, former CNN President Tom Johnson, Levi Strauss & Co CEO Robert Haas, former NBC Chairman Jane Pfeiffer, Wall St. Journal Editorial Page Editor Paul Gigot, CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and author Doris Kearns Goodwin.
