National Afterschool Matters Initiative Practitioner Fellowships

The National Institute on Out-of-School Time (NIOST) at the Wellesley Centers for Women at Wellesley College is accepting applications for the National Afterschool Matters Initiative Practitioner Fellowships for Out-of-School Time (OST) mid-level career professionals in the Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Minneapolis areas. The Fellowship will be conducted by and based at three locations for the National Writing Project:  The Bay Area Writing Project at UC Berkeley, the Philadelphia Writing Project at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Writing Project at the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis.  This year-long Fellowship will address a critical need in the out-of-school time field: A long-term professional development opportunity that, through inquiry, supports knowledge generation by practitioners themselves to identify program improvement strategies and features of effective out-of-school time programs.

Please see the program overview and complete the National Afterschool Matters Practitioner Fellowships application found at http://www.niost.org.  Call Sara Hill at 917 418 3780 or email sara@sarahill.net should you have any questions.
