Open Society Institute-Baltimore Seeks Applicants for Community Fellowships
The Open Society Institute-Baltimore is accepting applications for its 2009 class of Community Fellows.
The goals of these fellowships are to encourage individuals to pursue public and community service careers, expand the number of mentors and role models available to youth in inner-city neighborhoods, and promote entrepreneurial initiatives that will empower communities to increase opportunities and improve the quality of life for their residents. Since 1998, over one hundred Community Fellows have applied their educational and professional experiences in innovative projects serving marginalized communities in Baltimore. Past fellows have made exceptional accomplishments in a wide variety of areas, including media literacy, community art, and juvenile justice.
Interested individuals may either apply for a fellowship to work under the auspices of a nonprofit organization or to work independently.
OSI will award up to ten fellowships to individuals committed to improving the circumstances of Baltimore's underserved communities. Fellows will receive $48,750 over eighteen months.
Interested applicants must contact OSI to reserve a spot at an orientation session. For information on attending an orientation session and/or receiving an application, visit the OSI Web site.
