Fellowship Program
The program brings together students for an intensive summer immersion program designed to help Fellows explore the professional, civic and social offerings of the Flint area. This hands-on program is designed to mentor and cultivate today's young leaders, strengthen their understanding of societal issues and prepare them for future public service opportunities.
The 12-week Fellowship brings participants to Flint, where they learn from community leaders, participate in service-learning projects and implement social impact projects. The innovative program provides fellows with a truly immersive urban experience, including the provision of housing in vibrant, revitalized downtown Flint at the Riverfront Residence Hall to spur and inspire social innovation amongst participants.
This one-of-a-kind Fellowship in Michigan is designed for social innovators who have the talent, the passion and the potential to make a difference.
"Participating in the Diplomat Fellowship for Social Impact was such a great experience," said Hannah Jenuwine, a 2014 Diplomat Fellow. "I had the opportunity to research a social issue that I am passionate about, interview key community leaders, craft my own policy project and share those findings with people in the community. I loved being able to live and work with the other Fellows, building strong friendships and learning so much from them in the process."
The Fellowship is an extra-curricular program for which Fellows do not gain course credit. However, a Certificate of Achievement will be provided, as well as viable access to scholarship opportunities. Full application requirements and additional information is available here.
