Conserve the rainforest. Help fight AIDS. Spread literacy. Teach art to orphans. Given the chance, how would you contribute to global challenges?

Become a Sorensen Fellow and spend next summer working on issues that matter to YOU in the organization of YOUR choice.

A Three-Part Experience

Sorensen Fellowship 2014:

  • Spring 2014: Take a course of your choosing as academic preparation for your internship.
  • Summer 2014: Intern in the organization of your choice, anywhere in the world. Tackle issues of international importance like coexistence, human rights, international law, hunger relief, gender equality, development, education, global health, AIDS prevention, refugee assistance, or something we haven't thought of!
  • Fall 2014: Take a course with the other Fellows to reflect and write about the internship experience.
