In June, leading AI company Anthropic announced a partnership with Code the Dream. CTD will be one of the first participants in a new AI-driven fellowship program designed to extend the benefits of AI to communities where it might otherwise be out of reach.
The program, named Claude Corps for Anthropic’s large language model AI program, will send 1,000 early-career tech professionals to nonprofits across the country where they will spend a year helping organizations maximize their impact.
This opportunity dovetails with CTD’s goal: To build technology that addresses urgent but overlooked problems while opening the doors to life-changing opportunities through real-world experience. For Claude Fellows, who are early-career professionals, the fellowship offers a unique and impactful opportunity to build AI skills. For CTD and other participating organizations, hosting a fellow means benefiting from powerful new tools and systems that further our missions.
“AI can help us solve urgent problems facing our communities. Claude Corps Fellows will make a real difference in the lives of people served by Code the Dream-built technology—students, families seeking healthcare, and farmworkers who keep food on our tables,” said CTD Co-Executive Directors Daisy Magnus-Aryitey and Dan Rearick in a joint statement after Claude Corps was announced.
Claude Corps Fellows will receive a full-time salary of $85,000 and benefits, support from a CodePath mentor, office hours from Anthropic for their technical questions, an expansive Claude token budget, and professional guidance from CTD staff. CTD’s Claude Corps Fellows will start work in Durham, where CTD is headquartered, in October.
