The Social Innovation Fellowship is a two-year developmental program that places the community at the center and offers students coaching and hands-on social innovation experience. Fellows also benefit from inclusion in the Swearer Center ecosystem of faculty, advisors, and students.
- Fellows will have access to a curriculum designed to introduce and strengthen skills for social innovation in partnership with the Social Enterprise Greenhouse, community organizations, and campus partners.
- Fellows will also have access to hands-on learning and mentorship through their community-based internships.
- In addition, fellows receive an annual stipend of $2,000.
In year one, fellows will participate in regular workshops and intern with a community-based organization in Rhode Island. In year two, fellows continue engaging in regular workshops and can choose to either (1) explore a social innovation project of their own and/or (2) continue interning with the community-based organization they were matched with.
The Social Innovation Fellowship is a two-year program and thus is open to first-year and second-year undergraduate students.
