Families USA is now accepting applications for the WELLSTONE FELLOWSHIP FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE and the VILLERS FELLOWSHIP FOR HEALTH CARE JUSTICE. The application deadline for both fellowships is February 2, 2007.

WELLSTONE FELLOWSHIP

The WELLSTONE FELLOWSHIP FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE aims to advance social justice through health care advocacy by focusing particularly on the unique challenges facing communities of color. Through this fellowship, established to honor the memory of the late Senator Paul D. Wellstone, we hope to expand the pool of talented social justice advocates from underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups.

The ideal candidate must demonstrate an interest in health care policy and racial/ethnic health disparities. Additionally, we are looking for an individual who displays the potential to contribute to social justice work after their year of hands-on experience as a fellow. You can find more information, including a downloadable application form, on our Web site: http://ga3.org/ct/4dS1Iw518mu1/wellstone-fellowship

For more information about the Wellstone Fellowship for Social Justice, contact Melissa Rosenblatt, Director, Internship and Fellowship Program at wellstonefellowship@familiesusa.org.

VILLERS FELLOWSHIP

The VILLERS FELLOWSHIP FOR HEALTH CARE JUSTICE was created in 2005 by Philippe Villers, Founder and President of Families USA. Villers Fellows work in our health policy department and assist our organization's efforts to improve access to health coverage for all Americans, especially for low-income and other vulnerable communities. Specifically, Villers Fellows will conduct research on a range of health care policy issues, and write and contribute to publications that are relevant to current health policy debates.

In creating the fellowship, Mr. Villers aspired to develop a network of young leaders who share a passion for health care justice. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a commitment to health care justice work following their year as a fellow. Additionally, in order to encourage the development of future leaders, Villers Fellows must commit to mentoring at least one person over the course of their careers.

You can find more information, including a downloadable application form, on our Web site: http://ga3.org/ct/41S1Iw518m7C/villers-fellowship

Both fellowships are year-long, full-time, salaried positions at our office in Washington, DC. Each year, one candidate will be selected for each fellowship. Selected fellows will receive a compensatory package that includes an annual stipend of $35,000 and excellent health care benefits.
