We established our student fellows program to provide service learning experiences for exceptional college students. To date, SRF has worked with various institutions of higher learning around the country – including the University of New Mexico, San Diego State University, Pepperdine University, the National Latino Research Center, University of Maryland and American University – to recruit, train and to ourselves learn from these talented young people. Through SRF fellowships, students can receive college credit, earn a stipend for their time, and take part as professional staff members in our various
outreach activities. |
