Civic Summer Fellows

Civic Summer Fellows is a new, paid internship program providing Miami students opportunities to enhance civic knowledge and skills to work as leaders with local/regional communities, focusing on fields of education, non-profit, and social justice oriented community organizations.

Students will receive a $2500 scholarship contingent upon the successful completion of their summer internship. The scholarship will be applied to students’ bursar accounts.

Students with a record of interest in civic engagement and education-related fields, in the majors of Educational Studies (in EDL), Non-profit and Community Studies (NCS) and Social Justice Studies (SJS), and the Community Leadership (EDL) minor are eligible to apply. 

Internships will be in organizations around central and southwest Ohio, but students can, with the program’s permission, develop internships elsewhere.

Civic Summer Fellows is a pilot project of the Department of Educational Leadership in collaboration with the Menard Family Center for Democracy.
