The Fellowship runs full time from June 11 through August 17. The first week offers Fellows a comprehensive orientation and training on the program, including non-profit management, and positive youth development. The next nine weeks consist of high-impact summer programming.
The Fellowship offers a stipend of $1,000. (the program is also glad to provide documentation to any students who receive support from their universities for summer employment with a non-profit organization).
