2016 CARLSON CIVIC FELLOWSHIP
Carlson Civic Fellowship Flyer 2016
The Carlson Leadership & Public Service Center is pleased to announce three PAID FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES for University of Washington undergraduate students. Through the Carlson Civic Fellowship program, the Carlson Center will “hire” three Fellows to work with three local non-profits during Winter and Spring quarters.
The host sites for 2016 Carlson Civic Fellows will be:
- Asian Counseling and Referral Service // Civic Engagement Fellow (Engaging the API Community)
- Puentes // Community Mobilization Fellow (Ending Migrant Detention)
- Solid Ground // Advisory Council Fellow (Racial and Economic Justice)
Students selected as Carlson Civic Fellows will commit to working with their community non-profit for a minimum of 10 hours per week from January-June 2016 and will receive a $2,500 stipend to help make their investment of time and effort in Fellowship activities more feasible. In addition to their work with their host site, and to deepen their professional, leadership and personal capacities, Carlson Civic Fellows will also:
- Participate in a 3-credit (credit/no-credit) Community-Based Leadership course offered through the Carlson Center during Winter Quarter (“GEN ST 348: Critical Perspectives on Service and Community Engagement”)
- Engage in structured activities and ongoing reflection about their goals, personal strengths, leadership practice, and professional development; regular coaching sessions with a Carlson Center staff member to track progress and growth throughout the Fellowship — and will work to integrate this understanding and awareness into service with their community organization.
- A series of community events.
Brief descriptions of the three 2016 Fellowship opportunities are below, and outlined in the attached flyer.
