Civil Rights Summer (CRS) is for college students who want to understand,

live, and shape the social justice movement. 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 who will be rising sophomores or

juniors by summer 2001. The fellowship begins June 8, 2001 at Harvard

University with a week of academic study and leadership training. The

group travels to Washington, D.C. for seven weeks where they will continue

their studies while interning in policy-shaping national organizations.

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. CRS provides housing and transportation; Fellows will

also receive a stipend of $120 per week for incidentals and a $1500

scholarship

at the end of the fellowship. Click here for an application form
