How we work.
The La Jolla Center for Pacific Strategy facilitates strategy development projects led by Fellows and Interns. Throughout the year, we issue Calls for Fellows and Calls for Interns inviting applicants to propose a strategic problem they want to tackle.
Each proposal outlines the problem’s scope, background, and affected communities—and maps the key stakeholders and interests at play.
The Center then leverages its network of San Diego and Pacific-based experts, institutions, and industry partners to convene a working group dedicated to real commitments and real action. Guided by our Strategic Fellows and supported by the Center, this group moves through our Social Strategy Development Process—from shared understanding to coordinated implementation.
The result: a strategy built for action and impact.
