For more than twenty years, the Yale Alumni Community Service Fellowship program has placed students in paid eight-week, community service positions in cities across the U.S. The program provides students with the opportunity to spend a summer developing a working understanding of non-profits, aiding others in need and interacting with Yale alumni from all walks of life.
Program Dates: June 4 - July 27, 2012
Current undergraduate and graduate/professional students who are not in their final year of study are eligible to apply. Participants are expected to work full time for the entire eight weeks of the fellowship. Students may apply for up to three positions.
All participants are required to attend a pre-departure meeting and the sponsor luncheon in April, and a debriefing session when they return to Yale in the fall. At the completion of the fellowship, participants will be responsible for writing a project report, highlighting their experience over the summer.
Applicants will apply through eRecruiting. Internships will be viewable in eRecruiting on January 1, 2012.
Housing is provided for participants who reside with a Yale host family.
Participants are responsible for providing their own meals.
Participants are responsible for meeting their own travel and transportation needs. Depending on your proximity to work, you may share a ride, walk, use public transportation, or even bring a bike.
For Summer 2012, a $2,800 stipend will be awarded to each participant upon successful completion of program requirements.
