Looking for Partner Organizations to Host a Community First Fellow this Summer, Rutgers Camden
Posted by Rutgers Camden Center for Urban Research and Education on April 21, 2026
The Center for Urban Research and Education’s (CURE) at Rutgers–Camden is looking for partner organizations to host Community First Fellows this summer. Community First Fellows are Rutgers–Camden graduate students who are placed with local community partners to work on projects that support the partner’s mission. While a fellow, they receive relevant training and compensation or a living allowance.
This summer’s program will run from mid-June through late August. During the program, fellows will work an average of 15-20 hours a week on a project for the community partner (limited spots are also available for 10 hours a week). Projects can take a variety of forms. In the past, the most successful projects included community-engaged research, program evaluation, or capacity building for the organization.
Interested partners must be located in Camden, South Jersey, or the Philadelphia region. Past community partners have worked in areas including youth education, affordable housing, food insecurity, workforce development, health equity, immigrant and refugee rights, and social change through art. Most partners are organized as nonprofits, but this is not a requirement for all placements.
Interested community partners may also email cure@camden.rutgers.edu to learn more or express interest.
