Among their many contributions to Tennessee, Bill and Robin King have made an extraordinary investment in the next generation of leaders through the King Fellowship Program at the Tennessee Justice Center.

 

Established in 2016, the program was born from a simple but powerful idea: What if talented young people, at the beginning of their careers, had the opportunity to spend a year standing alongside Tennessee families and using their skills to solve some of the state’s most complex challenges?

 

The Kings' vision, brought to life through their extraordinary generosity, has done exactly that. The results have been life-changing, life-saving, and leadership-building. To date, 13 young people have participated in the King Fellowship Program. As fellows, they have advocated for Tennessee families and advanced policies designed to improve the health and well-being of Tennesseans. The program’s impact extends far beyond their year at the Tennessee Justice Center: former fellows have gone on to careers in law, medicine, and other fields, carrying with them a deep understanding of the power of advocacy and a commitment to improving the lives of others. The King Fellowship is a powerful expression of their belief that investing in young people is an investment in the future, and that giving talented individuals the opportunity to serve can change countless of lives.
