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 leader with local/regional communities, focusing on fields of education, non-profit, & social justice oriented community organizations.

Students will receive a $2000 stipend contingent upon the successful completion of their summer work; first half awarded within the first three weeks, second half upon completion of internship in July/August. 

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 programs permission, develop internships elsewhere.
