Apply Today!

I'm pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for the Villers
Fellowship for Health Care Justice and the Wellstone Fellowship for Social
Justice.

The Villers Fellowship

The Villers Fellowship for Health Care Justice
<http://ga3.org/ct/vpeIVxK1Br1x/>  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. 

The application deadline for the Villers Fellowship is January 15, 2010.

Justice or would like to request hard copies of the application brochure,
please contact me at villersfellowship at familiesusa.org.


The Wellstone Fellowship

The Wellstone Fellowship for Social Justice
<http://ga3.org/ct/51eIVxK1Br13/>  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://www.familiesusa.org/about/wellstone-fellowship.html
<http://ga3.org/ct/51eIVxK1Br13/> 

The application deadline for the Wellstone Fellowship is February 5, 2010. 

 

If you have any questions about the Wellstone Fellowship for Social Justice
or would like to request hard copies of the application brochure, please
contact me at wellstonefellowship at familiesusa.org.

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 salary of $38,000 and excellent health care benefits.

I encourage you to forward this announcement to anyone you think would be
interested in these exciting opportunities. 

Sincerely, 

Melissa Rosenblatt
Director, Internship and Fellowship Program
