Job and Role Description (1/3)

Do you have a specific fellowship position?*
Will you custom-tailor a Fellowship position to your organizational needs and the experience/skills/interest of ServiceCorps Fellows?*

If you answered "Yes" to question 1/3, row #1 above, what specific job or jobs you are looking to fill with a ServiceCorps Fellow? Note any specific skill sets you are looking for. Note: A full job description is not required, but may be added in full or via link.

If you answered "Yes" to question 1/3, row #2 above, please provide any further information about the job or jobs you may create. Note: It is OK to leave this open ended. For example, you may say: "We are most interested in Fellows who are passionate for our mission and our organization. We will work with Fellows to create a project or role based position tailored to our organizational needs and the Fellows experience/skills/interest." Additionally, you may want to say: "We are most interested in filling roles in X functions and are looking for Y skills."

Fellows are required to spend a minimum of 10% of their time in direct service work. What does the direct service work at your organization consist of? If you are an international organization, is there an opportunity for international work for a portion of the year?

Describe the learning opportunity and professional growth trajectory for a high-performing young person who joins your team.

Please describe your ability to integrate a ServiceCorps Fellow into your work environment and the work environment itself. What kind of a space is it physically? How fast paced is the work? Is it casual or formal?

ServiceCorps requires that every social sector partner provide a key contact. This may or may not be the Fellows individual manager. Do you know who that would be? If different from manager, do you know who the manager would likely be?

Financial Contribution*

Is your organization able to contribute $25,000 towards the cost of hosting a Fellow? Thanks to our generous corporate and philanthropic partners, this contribution supports ServiceCorps to cover 100% of salary, standard benefits, and administration.

Are there any other benefits the Fellows would receive? (e.g. staff meals, weekend activities, additional staff activities or mentorship opportunities, etc.)
