To the mentor or student peer: The Chuck Green Civic Engagement Fellowship,
administered by the Political Science Department at Macalester College, provides
students with a unique opportunity to put their ideas into action. The program is
competitive, with a maximum of 12 fellowships available each year. Each fellow
will serve a six-month fellowship that includes a spring seminar and a funded, fulltime summer field experience. Each fellow will study democratic engagement in
social and organizational change, identify a client organization working for the
public good with whom the student can analyze and address a problem, and then
work with that client on a mutually agreed-upon solution over the summer
months.
The Fellows will be expected to actively participate in all class sessions in the
spring term, work collaboratively with one another as well as the client partners
throughout the fellowship, and be available to serve as peer advisers for the
cohort of Fellows to follow in their footsteps.
