What kinds of organizations host fellows and how does AP choose them?
Our mission is to strengthen, support, and empower advocates who work at the community level for social justice. We do this through offering services and in some cases fellows. We send fellows to organizations that are working directly with community-based advocates. These groups are sometimes the advocates themselves, and other times are larger organizations or foundations that are supporting these groups in the field. Many of these groups have been partners of the Advocacy Project for many years. Others we are beginning to work with. In this case, AP does not send fellows to the organization until we have developed a relationship with that group, received references from past volunteers, and agreed on a program for the fellow.
