Community Engagement Fellowships
Community Engagement Fellowships for City College undergraduates support students who, in partnership with faculty mentors, design and carry out projects that unite public service learning to address community needs in a sustainable way.
Fellowships can be used for the development and implementation of a wide range of programs that address community needs, whether in New York City, elsewhere in the United States, or in some other part of the world. Fellowships might support students who have internships or students who plan to design their own program of work and service under faculty supervision. The key to succeeding as a Community Engagement Fellow is the development of a sustainable relationship between some group/agency/organization and City College.
The Powell Center is currently accepting applications for the 2008 round of Community Engagement Fellowships.
The application deadline is March 21st, 2008 for Summer 2008 projects. For application guidelines, click here Community Engagement Fellowship For questions, contact Nora Heaphy, Service-Learning Program Director, 212-650-8552 or nheaphy@ccny.cuny.edu |
