The mission of the Ohio Museums Association<https://ohiomuseums.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5b899769a472077f0ff0e1584&id=0465a13e44&e=62cda6f278> (OMA) is to connect, educate, empower, and advocate for the Ohio museum community. In pursuit of this mission, we acknowledge that numerous individuals within the museum sector, as well as those aspiring to embark on a career in museums, may not have equal access to essential professional development resources and career opportunities
As a way to address this disparity, OMA is piloting our Empowering Museum Voices Fellowship Cohort<https://ohiomuseums.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5b899769a472077f0ff0e1584&id=40b2fe1e14&e=62cda6f278>, to start in January 2024.

How many Fellowships are available? This fellowship will connect OMA with up to 10 applicants from backgrounds historically underrepresented in the museum field.

Who is eligible to apply for a Fellowship? Those eligible for the program include students studying in a museum-related field, current museum professionals, or those that are wanting to explore a career in museums.
Applicants should have backgrounds that are underrepresented in the museum field due to historic exclusion. This can include, but is not limited to, the BIPOC community, people with disabilities, Appalachian and rural communities, lower income communities, LGBTQ+ communities, and justice-impacted citizens.
All applicants must either live, work, or study in the state of Ohio.

What benefits will the chosen Fellows receive? The fellows will receive one year of OMA webinars (11+), individual OMA membership for the fellowship year plus three additional consecutive years, and OMA conference registration for both the fellowship year and the following year. Travel and lodging will also be included for the 2024 conference.
As part of the program, Fellows will also receive a $720 stipend (4 hours of work at $15 an hour each month for 12 months) for their time reviewing programming and planning future programs.

What is the purpose of the Fellowship? The purpose of the fellowship is not only for the Fellows to have access to OMA professional development resources, but also to provide the Fellowship cohort a platform for sharing valuable feedback and input. This collaborative effort aims to enhance OMA's ability to better serve the diverse needs of their communities. The Fellows will also be able to network with their cohort members, and make connections to museum professionals across Ohio.
