The Castanea Community
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
The Castanea Fellowship is nurtured by a larger community of support and partnership. This includes our powerhouse Steering Committee, as well as this phenomenal set of advisors. Advisors are a set of national partners with diverse expertise who serve as Community Advisors and on the Selection Committee. We also value our connection to alumni of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Food and Community Fellowship. We are grateful to these incredible advisors and their guidance to the Castanea Fellowship.
