All AMS supervisors and managers are strongly encouraged to participate in the upcoming Cesar Chavez Fellowship Program Overview Brown Bag.
During the brown bag, representatives from Cesar Chavez School will provide an overview of the program to include:
- Program Objectives
- Student and Supervisor Expectations
- Timelines
At Chavez Schools, scholars learn to be civic leaders committed to creating a more just, free, and equal world. Through the Fellowship Program, host organizations offer scholars an unpaid opportunity to learn the knowledge and skills required to be change-agents in the 21st Century. Working in public policy and service organizations introduces these civically minded youth to the operational side of public policy and highlights the communication and professional skills expected of successful and effective public servants.
