RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. RESULTS Fellows work together in our local communities and across the country to call for solutions to poverty here in the US (United States) and across the world. The RESULTS Fellowship will start January 8th, 2025.
We live our values each day by working with leaders to pass policies that will lead to our vision of a world free of poverty. Our community of Fellows and staff across the United States support each other to take collective action together.
Do you have a vision of a better, more equitable future?
You do not need to be a policy expert to make a difference at RESULTS. We will support you through training, mentoring, and monthly resources to learn the skills you need to be effective. The only thing necessary is a vision for a better future and the drive to be part of the solution.
By working together, we believe a better future is possible- further where:
All people have a safe, affordable place to call home
Everyone can experience economic security
No one is worried about where their next meal will come from
All children receive a quality education
People across the world have access to quality healthcare and nutrition
Right now, this future is out of reach for too many. Staggering inequality - driven by a history of oppressive policies - has created a world where too many people are denied access to their basic rights. We will not see a better future unless we choose to act and demand change.
RESULTS Fellows are part of a community of advocates across the United States who support each other to take collective action together. In our community, we live our values each day by working with leaders to pass policies that will lead to our vision of a better tomorrow.
As a RESULTS Fellow you will receive training and support during the fellowship and beyond to become a powerful advocate for the end of poverty. You will:
Write pieces that get published in the media
Learn how to influence your member of Congress on issues like child survival, vaccines, and global nutrition.
Become a skilled organizer who mobilizes your community to fight poverty.
If you are ready to make an impact, the RESULTS Organizing and Advocacy Fellowship is eager to support you.
You can start the process today. Find out more about the RESULTS Fellowship at www.results.org/fellowship. We look forward to meeting you.

Mission Statement
RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together they use their voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty. Volunteers receive training, support, and inspiration to become skilled advocates. In time, volunteers learn to effectively advise policy makers, guiding them towards decisions that improve access to education, health, and economic opportunity. With every hour of their time, volunteers multiply their impact through the enormous power of advocacy -- whether it’s helping change policy to support millions of families putting food on the table or helping raise billions of dollars for the world’s most vulnerable children. Backed by the in-depth research and legislative expertise of staff, RESULTS advocates realize the incredible power they possess to use their voices to change the world.
Description
For over 40 years, RESULTS and RESULTS Educational Fund have been shining light on critical, effective solutions to poverty. By combining the powerful voices of civic advocates with research and oversight of U.S. anti-poverty efforts at home and abroad, RESULTS has been changing government priorities and people’s lives.
"I saw RESULTS on VolunteerMatch, but I wasn’t sure what advocacy was. Before that, I wasn’t really aware of the way different government policies impacted me. But RESULTS gave me a whole new perspective. I learned that if you want change, first you need to see what members of Congress are doing and build connections." - Yaseer Khanani
"I became an advocate because I wanted to be more involved in an organization that strives to make positive change. I really appreciate how genuine and dedicated everyone is to the RESULTS mission." - Sunjay Menon
"At RESULTS, we advocate for the issues that are close to my heart, like global health, education, and poverty eradication. I get to talk about issues that I witness throughout my professional and personal life. I can effect change by raising my voice." - Shabina Hussein
