Philly Fellows Program seeks host agencies

Posted by on September 03, 2010

Philly Fellows is now seeking new host agencies for the 2011-2012 fellowships.  Interested non-profits must submit a Reply Form outlining their potential projects to Philly Fellows staff by Thursday, September 30th.

Fellows serve in full-time capacity-building positions in dynamic Philadelphia non-profits.  By hosting a fellow, our partner agencies are able to launch new programs and initiatives that enable them to do more to carry out their mission.  In addition to strengthening our host agencies and the communities they serve, the program helps to cultivate the next generation of civic leaders.

Fellows are selected from a highly competitive pool of graduating college seniors, each of whom come into the fellowship with significant service and leadership experience. For 2010-2011, we received 234 applications for 16 fellowship slots. Thanks to this competitiveness, candidates who are selected for the fellowship have outstanding academic records, excellent communication skills, significant service and leadership experience, and the ability to make an immediate impact at their host agencies.

The program partners with AmeriCorps*VISTA to support these projects.
