Anthropic Claude Corps Fellowships 2026

Claude Corps is a new fellowship initiative launched by Anthropic in collaboration with CodePath and Social Finance. The program is designed to help nonprofit organizations adopt AI in practical and responsible ways while preparing early-career talent for the future of work.

Through the fellowship, selected participants are matched with nonprofit host organizations in the United States. Fellows work full-time for one year, helping their host organizations identify useful AI opportunities, build tools with Claude, improve internal workflows, train staff, and create systems that continue to support the organization after the fellowship ends.

The program is especially focused on social impact. Host organizations may work in areas such as education, conservation, arts and culture, health, community services, public interest work, and other mission-driven fields. Fellows do not need to be AI experts before applying. Instead, the program provides onboarding, training, access to Claude tools, support from Anthropic, and a peer cohort experience.

Claude Corps is a strong opportunity for applicants who want to build AI fluency, gain professional experience, work with nonprofit teams, and contribute to meaningful projects that serve communities.
