FAQ

Who you are

You have deep technical knowledge of data science, engineering, or data visualization and want to help the world. In your professional life, you might serve as an economic consultant, a data scientist, data analyst, or a software engineer at a technology firm. Your technical skills and love of data have brought you professional success, and your drive to make an impact has brought you to us. It's time to focus your efforts on bringing the best in data to the nonprofit world. 

Delta fellows work in two key areas: data consulting and teaching.
​
