The Island Institute is seeking applicants for its island fellows program for 2008-2009. The program is currently seeking proposals from communities or organizations interested in hosting a fellow, as well as applications from individuals interested in serving.
Communities interested in hosting a fellow must submit a proposal describing the anticipated project or projects, designating a project advisor and establishing an action plan and goals for the placement. Applications are due by March 14, 2008, and fellowship awards will be determined by April.
Individuals interested in becoming 2008-2009 fellows must complete a program application and a personal statement detailing their career interests and interest in the program. Applicants must also provide a resume, transcript and three letters of recommendation. Completed applications are due by May 30, 2008, but placements will be made on a rolling basis, so applicants are encouraged to apply early.
For more information on hosting or becoming a fellow, please visit www.islandinstitute.org or contact Chris Wolff, community development director at cwolff@Islandinstitute.org, or (207) 594-9209.
