Event
MORE THAN PEACE CORPS: GAP YEAR FELLOWSHIPS AND SERVICE CORPS OPPORTUNITIES
Co-Sponsored by Career Services and Civic House
Do you want to make the world a better place? Are you looking for a job during the "gap year" between college and graduate school? There are a plethora of community service fellowships out there that typically include work in the U.S. or abroad in a wide variety of fields (teaching, advocacy, community development, health care, immigrant services, social work, environment, etc.). Many programs also feature a training program prior to the work period, living in community (or own one's own), deferment of student loans, and scholarships for graduate school. Come to this workshop + panel to learn about these fellowships and service corps programs, whether they are right for you, and how to submit strong applications. A panel of current and former fellows from selected programs will also discuss details of their experiences and give their take on vetting programs and applying to them.
