In the spirit of Fred DiBona’s commitment to giving back and leading by example the Fred’s Footsteps Fellowship Program engages emerging leaders in the Philadelphia community to establish the next generation of servant leaders who will work with Fred’s Footsteps and other likeminded organizations to improve the quality of life for families in the Philadelphia region and beyond.
The Fellowship Program provides networking opportunities, exposure to regional business and community leaders who serve as “faculty” in an interactive learning environment, and personal and professional growth through intimate dialogue around leadership models and competencies.
