This program creates opportunities for community-based agencies to access direct service and/or capacity-building support from Brown University undergraduates and allows students to explore career options and engage in experiential learning activities outside the classroom. Approximately 30 students will be funded to participate in an internship at a community-based or local government agency in the Greater Providence area. 

The internship must:

• involve project-based, missions-aligned work within the organization
• begin on or after June 1, 2023 and must end no later than August 4, 2023
• be 8-10 weeks long and be the student’s primary summer engagement opportunity
• be conducted in-person unless otherwise explained by the organization
• be supervised by a professional in the organization who will provide regular supervision and mentorship throughout the summer (NOTE: the supervisor must have a permanent connection to the organization, such as a permanent employee of the organization or a board member. The supervisor cannot be another student.) 

 Students also participate in mandatory bi-weekly co-curricular workshops facilitated by Swearer Center staff over the length of the fellowship. The dates for these sessions are being determined but will take place after 5pm and include reflections, discussions, and presentations. 

Students will receive a stipend for their participation in the SPRINT-iProv Summer Fellows Program. Brown University will pay the entire stipend to selected students through the SPRINT Award Program.
