MLK Youth Leadership, Creative Maladjustment and Social Change Award - Screenprinting Event
The Center for Peace and Global Citizenship (CPGC) cooperates with students and faculty in all majors to advance justice, inclusion, and sustainability by linking experiential learning with the needs and desires of off-campus partners. This linking occurs through student fellowships that support systematic, ongoing professional development coupled with internships during the summer and throughout the academic year. Beyond these fellowships, the CPGC also supports community-engaged courses, research, and scholarship. This work - at the heart of positive peace-building and critical global citizenship - occurs in Ardmore, in the Philadelphia Region, and all around the world.
For service and advocacy opportunities in Ardmore, as well as student volunteer clubs and community-based work study, visit the Marilou Allen Office of Service and Community Collaboration.

Who participates in CPGC Fellowships? What majors are most present? Are partner organizations happy with interns? How might we think about the value of internships for organizations and for students? Looking across the last three years of CPGC Fellowship data demonstrates clear trends coupled with considerable flexibility.
The CPGC supports local, regional, national and global positive peace building. That positive peace building involves cooperating broadly, off-campus and across campus, to advance critical inquiry and consequential action for justice, inclusion, and sustainability. Beyond the considerable student labor supporting justice-seeking organizations through internships, which are the topic of separate posts, here are a few of the ways students, staff, community partners and faculty mobilized CPGC mission and values this fall:
Nearly 60 student Fellows displayed posters about their summer internship experiences, and six of these Fellows also gave more detailed Ignite Presentations to those in attendance.
