Does each new Fellow have to develop a new project, or can a Fellow continue a project that had been started by another Fellow in a previous Fellowship year?
As this is a leadership development opportunity, you may not simply duplicate an existing initiative. Fellows can either start a new project or build upon an already established project initiated by a previous Fellow or a community agency. Expansion could include reaching out to a new target population or adding additional services that will be offered. A listing of previous Fellows’ projects and sites is available on the website. In addition, there is also a listing of agencies which have demonstrated needs in the community and have agreed to host a Schweitzer Fellow. However, you are not limited to either listing. You may connect with any community agency which has a demonstrated need you wish to fulfill. Please contact us for potential agencies in other geographic locations not included on the website.
