What is a fellow and what is a fellowship?

Selected undergraduate students will be referred to as College Corps Fellows throughout the duration of the program. The fellowship refers to the year-long commitment and service completed with an external community partner.

Commitment

As a College Corps fellow, you will be assigned an external community partner to work with and complete a majority of your 450 hours of service with this community host site.

As a College Corps Fellow, you will serve 450 hours over the course of the 2023-2024 academic year (September 2023 to June 2024).

You would select one of the following three areas:

  • K-12 Education

  • Climate Action

This roughly equates to 15 hours a week.
