The NextGen Public Service Fellowship will support students in identifying a public service internship and/or developing a work plan with their community-based partner organization. We welcome applications from students with ongoing work with community-based organizations and/or those working in local, state, or federal government internships--as well as applications from students who are interested in these positions and need support in identifying or securing a position.
Students selected into the program will work with program staff to develop internships in the spring, then complete their community-based work and participate in cohort activities during the summer months. Fellows receive a $5000 stipend for completing an internship of 200 hours (or more) between May and September. Ongoing participation in the NextGen Civic Leader Corps is encouraged, but not required.
The application is open now and due on February 28. Please forward this opportunity to undergraduate students in your network who have an interest in careers that serve the public interest and who may not otherwise be able to pursue these internship opportunities during the summer months.
Eligibility requirements and the application process are detailed on the CELE Center website. Interested students or advisors can also attend our information session on Monday, February 13 at 3:30PM in MGH 171 or feel free to follow-up with me directly.
