The Program:

Philly Fellows is designed to connect motivated graduates with meaningful positions where they can make a difference in the city of Philadelphia. The program offers an exciting transition from college to the community where, together with their peers, fellows can gain knowledge, contribute talent, and develop leadership while experiencing the best of Philadelphia.

•Fellows work 40 hours/week at a partnering non-profit agency that captures their interest in a position where they can build capacity and develop new skills. See the prospective job placements for 2010-2011 .

•In addition, fellows participate in leadership and professional development curriculum throughout the year. Learn more about this program.

•Fellows live together in one of four houses in vibrant Philadelphia neighborhoods -current houses are in West Philadelphia, South Philadelphia, and Northern Liberties. Housing is shared with 3-5 other fellows. See the 2009-2010 Philly Fellows houses.

•Aside from free housing, fellows receive a living stipend, health insurance, and an education award through the AmeriCorps*VISTA program. See a detailed list
of benefits.

Applications for the 2011-2012 fellowship will be available in the fall. View application information.
