Post graduation Paid fellowship for UW Social Work Students or Alumni – Deadline 10/17/19
Since this opportunity is full time and out of area, it will work only for students graduating this Winter or Spring Quarter.
My name is Kelley Pascoe and I graduated from the UW SSW (Dec 2018) and the UW School of Public Health (June 2019). I am now working as a research coordinator in a research lab (IMPACT lab) at Washington State University and wanted to share an opportunity that I believe could be a potential job opportunity for students who have graduated, are graduating early, or who are planning on taking final courses online. It seems like it would be a great fit for UW social work students or alumni, especially those within the APP or CCIP concentrations. The paid opportunity is a 9-month Prevention Fellowship position hosted by the Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) in partnership with Washington State University. I have included a short synopsis of the fellowship program below as well as have attached the DBHR Prevention Fellow job description to this email.
The DBHR Fellowship is a 9-month full-time fellowship program, designed to expand the field of substance use disorder prevention and build capacity in communities that could benefit from the Washington Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI). The fellowship occurs in three phases, each three months long: Phase 1 in Olympia at the Washington Health Care Authority, DBHR office; Phase 2 in an existing CPWI community with a CPWI Coalition Coordinator; and Phase 3 in a high-need community in Washington State working with the community to build a prevention coalition.
The next cohort of fellows (Cohort 4) is scheduled to start in January 2020 and will continue through the end of September 2020. Applications are due October 17th, 2019 by 5pm via the Google Form available here: https://forms.gle/fDBQFZ2LiLuyQLx96. There will also be two informational interviews with Alicia Hughes (WA HCA, DBHR) next week on 10/8 from 9:30-10:30am, and 10/9 from 1-2pm. If there are students/alumni who are interested in either informational interview (both via zoom), please have them contact me (Kelley.pascoe@wsu.edu) or my co-coordinator Clara Hill (clara.hill@wsu.edu) and we will send them the necessary Zoom information.
