Want to be an advocate for social justice? Want to live, learn, and teach in Washington, D.C. this summer?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, the D.C. Social Justice Fellowship may be for you. The fellowship is a 2-semester program exploring social justice concepts in the spring and working with high school students and civic leaders in Washington, D.C. in the summer. In the spring, students participate in civic leadership training in preparation for a social justice teaching experience in Washington. Students work with faculty and graduate mentors to develop learner-centered, values-based curriculum materials on self-selected issues of social justice. The summer fellowship (a Maymester course) is conducted at Georgetown Law in Washington, where students work with accomplished civic leaders, educators, PSU faculty, and Georgetown Law faculty to empower youth through the art of advocacy. The fellowship covers the cost of housing and some day-to-day expenses while in D.C, and is open to all PSU undergraduate students regardless of major.

Interested? Come to the information session on Monday, October 18 at 6:00 p.m. in 123 Chambers Building.
