Job Description

The Community Leadership Fellows (CLF) program is seeking a graduate student to provide assistance for fellowship activities between late August of 2025 and early May of 2026 (specific start/end dates are negotiable). The CLF program supports undergraduates from UM-Ann Arbor as they complete a year-long internship with a nonprofit organization. Selected fellows complete ~250 hours of work for their sponsoring organization during the academic year from September 2025 through April 2026. Throughout the year, fellows attend biweekly cohort meetings to discuss topics related to their development in the context of social change work.

  • Assist with administrative tasks, for example, tracking hours and attendance, follow-up surveys, processing reimbursements, and organizing in-person fellowship gatherings

  • Provide individual feedback to fellows on topics like work planning, ethical community engagement, time/emotional management, and other issues that arise as they complete their internships
