Deadline: July 15, 2022
Applications for the Findhelp Fellowship Program 2022 are now open. The Findhelp Fellowship Program believes that people working within their own communities have the greatest impact. That’s why they are proud to bring together people from across the nation that are committed to making a difference in the neighborhoods through their fellowship program.
The purpose of the fellowship program is to support and enhance the work of social care champions in their communities. Fellows organize innovative projects that directly contribute to improving social care outcomes in their focus areas. Fellows in each cohort work together to create and promote their activities, and will have the support of Findhelp in helping them achieve their project goals.
Thenatic Areas
- Housing: Projects in this category focus on access to shelter or housing. They will consider projects across a range of different housing services, backgrounds and industries so long as they propose a way of addressing findhelp’s most searched for need.
- Food: Nearly tied with housing as the most searched for need on findhelp network is food. Your project is the right fit if you can tell them how you’ll contribute to food equity, access, or education in your community.
