Announcing Civil Rights Summer (CRS) 2002 -- A Fellowship for
Emerging Social Justice Leaders.
CRS is for college students who want to understand, live, and shape the
social justice movement. Developed by
several of the nation's leading civil rights organizations, the Leadership
Conference on Civil Rights, Leadership
Conference Education Fund, Citizens' Commission on Civil Rights, and The
Civil Rights Project at Harvard
University, the fellowship is a new leadership development program designed
to place contemporary and future
social justice struggles within a national and historical context CRS is
currently seeking applicants for the summer
2002 program.
The fellowship begins in mid-June, 2002 at Harvard University with a week
of intensive academic study and training. The group then travels to
Washington, D.C. for seven weeks where Fellows will learn about working in
coalition to advance public policy goals by working at a national civil
rights organization. The Fellows will also play an instrumental role in
creating a national student activist network that will leverage Internet
technology to train, educate, mobilize, and
connect students dedicated to social justice. Fellows will return to their
campuses motivated to play a leadership role, supported by their new
knowledge and skills and a large network of CRS peers and mentors.
Civil Rights Summer is for college students who:
· Are interested in social justice issues and have shown leadership
qualities
· Have strong academic abilities
· Are residents of the U.S.
· Have completed 2 years of post-secondary education and at least 30
credit hours by the beginning of summer 2002
CRS provides housing and transportation for the duration of the program.

$1500 scholarship at the end of the fellowship.
