Apply for the 2011-12 LearnServe Fellows Program!

LearnServe International invites rising sophomores and juniors to apply for the 2011–12 LearnServe Fellows Program. LearnServe Fellows will have the opportunity to: 

• Connect with like-minded students from schools across DC.
• Engage with organizations who are tackling poverty, hunger, discrimination, climate change and other pressing social problems in DC and around the world.
• Develop leadership skills that will prepare students to respond to these global challenges.
• Design and launch their own “social venture” – an organization or project that will benefit your school or community.

 From September 2011 to May 2012, Fellows will:

• Meet on Thursday afternoons from 4:30-6:30pm, three times a month. (All meetings are Metro accessible);
• Participate in a two-day weekend retreat (October) and four (4) weekend service days and skills workshops throughout the year. 
• Learn directly from local leaders who are working to solve global problems.
• Pitch their "ventures" to a review panel of professionals for seed grants to get their projects started.

 Applications for the Fellows Program are due May 28! To apply, please visit tinyurl.com/lsifellows11-12.

There is a participation fee of $100 that will be due once you are accepted into the Fellows program and financial assistance is available. Before you apply, please talk to Mr. Cotton about the Fellows program.

Please note: students who participate in the Fellows program are not automatically enrolled in a LearnServe trip. However, Fellows will have "first dibs" to sign up for one of the trips.
