The aims of the Southern Education Leadership Initiative are to:
- expose the South’s best and brightest college students to contemporary strategies being mounted by the policy, non-profit, foundation, and business sectors to improve education opportunity and quality;
- provide such students with inspiration, information, and a top quality work experience at leading organizations involved in cutting edge policy and practice efforts to address education problems;
- develop students’ research and leadership skills by providing a forum for independent research and study and for the sharing of knowledge gathered and lessons learned with peers on campus, and in the community or the workplace.
Since 2004, 130 students have been placed at various sites including CARE USA, National Disability Rights Network, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation, William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation, Foundation for the Mid South, Center for Women Policy Studies, Rural Community Alliance, Southern Regional Education Board, Assisi Foundation, and the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta. Through this effort, SEF is exposing the next generation of leaders to opportunities to use their talents in service to the public interest.
The deadline to apply is March 1st. You can access the application here. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Katherine Dunn at kdunn@southerneducation.org.
