The Philadelphia Justice and Equity Fellowship connects career development with social change. CPGC is hiring twelve "PJEFs" - Haverford students in their sophomore, junior and senior years - for academic year fellowships to advance anti-racism and inclusion. PJEFs become part of a network of organizations, professionals and activists committed to social justice movements in the Philadelphia region. Learn more about opportunities for new students and returning CPGC Fellows to apply this August! 

 

PJEF's will engage in three types of paid work:

  1. With the Partner Organization: PJEFs will work up to 8 hours per week during the academic year on projects assigned by their host organization. Jobs requiring in-person work off campus will compensate students for the time they spend commuting.

  2. Fellows will devote approximately 8 additional hours per month on professional development activities, including formal workshops and less formal gatherings with peers over food.

  3. Fellows will complete the following assignments designed to build vocational capacity and work towards individual goals:

    1. Activities required by CPGC Fellowships, including Poster/Ignite Presentation in September October

    2. End of semester reflection in December

    3. Each fellow will have an opportunity to present their work, and/or introduce a speaker, or facilitate a workshop for peers and other community members.

    4. Final report in late April/ early May 

This is a competitive application, and preference is given to students who qualify for federal work-study. Interested students should submit an application between August 15 and 31.
