## Season 1 Fellowship Guide

A Fellowship is a group of people (new or pre-existing) that work together to finish a [Journey](https://gov.collab.land/t/how-funding-works/21#grants-2). Fellowships can showcase their successful Journey as an NFT using [Quests.xyz](https://quests.xyz)

### What does a Fellowship _require_?

Some key features each Fellowship must have:

- **A leader**. The Trust Level\<link needed!\> of the leader is the Trust Level of the Fellowship. The leader will also be the main communication point for governance to ask questions and get updates, and must be available for such communication.

- **A Journey**. The Journey can be a new Journey the Fellowship is applying for (Proposed Journey).

- **Defensible value**. A good Fellowship has a clear and explainable reason why they are best suited to execute its Journey. Do you have: a unique skill combination? Unique contextual understanding? Unique relevant experience?

### What does a Good Fellowship have?

- **Reward distribution plan** : There should be a clear plan for distributing the Journey funding to the Fellowship members.

- **Conflict resolution plan** : an internal [conflict resolution](https://www.projectmanager.com/blog/conflict-resolution-strategies) process. The Co-op will not intervene in internal Fellowship disputes unless they directly relate to defrauding the Co-op.

- **Communication:** Have a dedicated space for communication (like Discord, Slack, Telegram, etc.). If creating a Fellowship from scratch, check for [timezone compatibility or sufficient overlap](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html).
