The Community Fellowship role combines traditional roles of participants as students and instructors with more flexible roles of participants as teacher/learners, community partners, mentors and servant-leaders. Fellows bring specific interests, significant expertise and other resources to the Program. Community Fellows may be sponsored by an organization that provides financial support or other resources. Sponsoring organizations benefit from the professional development and community engagement of their participating Fellows, and from recognition as a supporter of sustainability in the community.
