The St. Louis Fellows Program offers a 6-month civic leadership training to undergraduates who dedicate their summer to St. Louis. Students engage in an experiential curriculum to explore St. Louis’ history, culture, politics, challenges, and opportunities, and contribute to mission-critical work in the region through full-time nonprofit or civic internships.
The program welcomes students with a variety of interest areas, many of whom search for and confirm their own community partner organization to work with throughout the summer. There are also opportunities for students who are interested in specific topics to partner with pre-selected organizations or issues through on-going community partnerships with the Gephardt Institute. Each St. Louis Fellow receives professional development, structured supervision and mentoring, and up to four credit hours.
Community organizations interested in hosting a St. Louis Fellow can review and complete a Request for Internship proposals.
