Anthropic is putting its money where its mission statement is. The company behind the Claude AI model announced Claude Corps, a national fellowship program designed to place 1,000 early-career professionals inside US nonprofit and civic organizations for year-long terms focused on AI integration.
The first cohort is set to begin on September 28, 2025, built in collaboration with CodePath, a nonprofit that focuses on creating pathways into the tech industry.
What Claude Corps actually does
Anthropic and CodePath will recruit participants with AI skills, train them further, and then embed them within nonprofit organizations across the country. These fellows will be working on mission-driven projects that leverage AI tools to improve how these organizations actually operate.
By embedding fellows directly into these organizations for a full year, Claude Corps creates enough time for meaningful projects to take root. A year-long placement can reshape how an entire organization handles donor outreach, data analysis, or program evaluation.
