About the opportunity
What this programme is offering
What is Claude Corps?
Claude Corps is a fully-funded, 12-month paid fellowship that places early-career AI-skilled talent inside mission-driven nonprofits—referred to throughout this FAQ as host organizations. Fellows work full-time on projects that help host organizations use Claude across their missions in areas like workforce development, public health, housing, food security, veterans services, and education.
Who runs the program?
Three organizations run Claude Corps together. Anthropic funds the program, leads its overall strategy, and provides Claude expertise. CodePath—a national nonprofit focused on technical education—recruits, trains, and employs fellows as the employer of record. Social Finance administers the program’s philanthropic capital and leads measurement and evaluation.
Who employs the fellows?
Fellows are full-time CodePath employees with full benefits. CodePath handles payroll, W-2s, and HR, while the host organization directs day-to-day work.
