The CAYL Schott Fellowship in Early Care and Education is an innovative one-year leadership program that identifies and supports mid-career early childhood leaders in Massachusetts who demonstrate both commitment and experience working within communities of color and/or economically under-served communities. Since 2004, there have been 65 CAYL Schott Fellows.

The purpose of the CAYL Schott Fellowship is to ensure opportunities for diverse and representative leadership in policy advocacy on behalf of children. The Fellowship seeks to expand Fellows' networks and capacity to engage with others in creating change for children in the Commonwealth. Over time, Fellows are expected to become visible in significant leadership positions affecting public policy.
