We have begun student recruitment for the summer 2023 Rural Fellowship Program!
The Rural Fellowship program is a unique program designed to connect college students to rural Nebraska communities to provide hands-on working experience while learning about and experiencing inclusive community leadership.
During the 7-week fellowship, Student Fellows typically work alongside community leaders on projects related to workforce and economic development, business development, early childhood education, community marketing, communication, entrepreneurship, and mental health services (to name a few).
Students looking to gain professional experience while earning $5,000 and have their summer housing paid for can now apply to be a Rural Fellow.
We recruit Undergraduates (preferably sophomores, juniors, and seniors) and Graduate students of any major from any university in the U.S.
If you have any questions, please email Jenny Okoliko (Jokoliko2@huskers.unl.edu or ruralfellows@unl.edu) or Dr. Helen Fagan (helen.fagan@unl.edu).
