Last week we hosted an information panel with three representatives from amazing programs available to students after they graduate. Teach for America, Peace Corps and City Year all had a campus recruiter represented to answer student’s questions about each respective program. While all three of those programs are extraordinary opportunities, there are also some other programs which have similar goals and interests in service, education and community development! All of these fellowship programs have deadlines coming up, so check them out and see if any of them are for you!
