Fellowships

Center for Social Inclusion - Sabbatical Fellowship for Activists of Color
Deadline: June 15, 2012 

The Alston Bannerman Sabbatical Fellowship will award $25,000 to longtime
community activists of color to take a sabbatical of three months or more
for reflection and renewal. The Center for Social Inclusion recognizes that
working for social change usually means long hours at low pay with few
tangible rewards and few escapes from the day-to-day pressures. Without time
to rest and reenergize, the pressures can prove overwhelming and result in a
loss of creative and critical leadership. To qualify for an Alston Bannerman
Sabbatical Fellowship, you must: be a person of color, have more than 10
years of community organizing experience, be committed to social change work
in communities of color, and live in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam,
American Samoa or U.S. Virgin Islands. Beyond the basic eligibility
criteria, the Alston Bannerman Program seeks applicants whose work: attacks
root causes of inequity by organizing those affected to take collective
strategic action; challenges the systems that perpetrate injustice and
effects institutional and structural change; builds community capacity for
democratic participation and develops grassroots leadership; acknowledges
the cultural values of the community; creates accountable participatory
structures in which community members have decision-making power; and
contributes to building a movement for social change by making connections
between issues, developing alliances with other constituencies, and
collaborating with other organizations.
