The Robert Andrew Stuart Fellowship provides a unique opportunity to develop organizing and facilitation skills within AFSC's Emerging Leaders for Liberation (ELL) program while also making an impact on the lives of people throughout the Greater Philadelphia region. Fellowship duties will be split between ELL, and local Philadelphia Organizing efforts.
This Fellowship is designed as a comprehensive and immersive learning experience. The selected Fellow will be given a unique opportunity to gain hands-on skills in grassroots youth organizing and youth leadership development. The Fellow will assist with the implementation of AFSC’s ELL initiative by participating in facilitation and curriculum development. The Fellow will learn alongside the cohort participants by supporting the development of individual and collective social justice action projects. Simultaneously, the fellow will engage with local Philadelphia organizing efforts, develop community-facing events and programming, and represent AFSC at relevant coalition meetings and events.
