Partners in the Community
Paul D. Coverdell Fellows Program universities partner with community–based organizations, local governments, and nonprofit groups to create internships where Fellows roll up their sleeves and help underserved Americans. Since our inception in 1985, we have been able to connect thousands of Fellows with community partners to devote educated minds and well-honed skills to solving the problems affecting our most vulnerable neighbors.
