About the Enterprise Rose Fellowship<\/p>\n
The Enterprise Rose Fellowship partners emerging architectural designers and socially-engaged arts and cultural practitioners with local community development organizations to facilitate an inclusive approach to development that results in green, sustainable, and affordable communities. As an integral member of their host organization, fellows integrate design processes, artistic practices, community engagement principles, and creativity into development projects and the organization overall.<\/p>\n
For this program, artists are defined as socially-engaged creative practitioners, teaching artists, and culture bearers working in all disciplines \u2013 including but not limited to: visual arts, performance, digital media, dance, theater, literary arts and multi-media. Qualification requirements are specified in the work plans below.<\/p>\n
By becoming a fellow, you will learn first-hand the dynamics, challenges, and potential of mission-driven real estate development, community organizing, and policy. You will also join a growing network of passionate and talented creative practitioners who are continuously changing what is possible in community development.<\/p>\n

Their 245-square-mile service area is the poorest part of the county and the most racially diverse in the state. It has long experienced underinvestment. Human Solutions works east of Portland, which has much higher incomes and far more amenities. All school districts in the area have a majority of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch. Dozens of languages are spoken; immigrants and refugees often land in this portion of the Portland metro area because it is relatively affordable, though less so now with rising rents and housing pressure from those displaced elsewhere in this increasingly high-cost region. Informed by the principles of trauma-informed care, Human Solutions worked to alleviate these issues through both community development and social service provision.<\/p>\n The Rose Fellow will help expand Human Solution\u2019s capacity in: Challenging the damaging narrative that dominate our culture: bootstrap mentality that fails to engage with systemic racism and broken systems<\/p>\n Benefits of becoming a Rose Fellow<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Two-year fellowship position Eligibility<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Applicants for architectural fellowships must have an NAAB-Accredited Professional Architecture degree (B.Arch, M.Arch)
