The Dog Tag Fellowship Program
The Dog Tag Fellowship Program
The Dog Tag Entrepreneurial 5-month Fellowship Program equips veterans, military spouses, and caregivers with the tools and education to build resilience, find renewed purpose, and forge community beyond the military. Dog Tag provides a bridge from military service to the civilian world and acts as a catalyst for finding direction and moving forward.
Recruitment Events
Want to learn more about what it's like to be part of the Dog Tag Fellowship Program? Join us for one of our upcoming virtual events to get all your questions answered, and take advantage of the opportunity to interact with Dog Tag staff and alumni.
Our five-month program combines equal parts classroom, bakery, community, and wellbeing.
Dog Tag Fellows earn a business certificate from Georgetown University (DC program) or Loyola University Chicago (Chicago program); bring their coursework to life by learning the ins and outs of running a successful business in the bakery; build community with each other; and enhance their wellbeing by committing time to introspection, storytelling, and personal growth.
Our fellows see and value themselves differently after they graduate and continue on their own journeys with greater confidence, resilience, and direction—an achievement described by many as nothing short of life-changing.
