In partnership with the NextGen Civic Leader Corps project, the Community Engagement and Leadership Education (CELE) Center is thrilled to announce that applications are now open for our summer fellowship program for students interested in exploring careers in nonprofit or government organizations.
The Jackson Munro 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 fellowship will work with program staff to develop internships in the late 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 Tuesday, April 23. 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 sessions (dates, times, and locations listed online), meet with Dahn Bi (NextGen Civic Leader Corps staff) for one-on-one advising, or follow-up with me directly.
