Summer Buds and Dwight Hall have begun the hunt for a new Summer Buds Coordinator. 

Summer Buds is a tutoring program for New Haven elementary school kids that runs June and July which pairs them one on one with Yale students in New Haven over the summer. It's an amazing chance to change these kids attitudes to education and school general, fostering a love of reading while improving their literacy skills. The position involves creating and running this amazing program, teaching, mentoring, management skills, self-initiative, field trips, and a place in the Yale summer community. The position is also historically tied to the Dwight Hall Fellow which entails free use of the cars, photocopier, free dinner once a week, and a $3000 stipend. 

If you are at all interested please e-mail elizabeth.breit@yale.edu with any questions or comments or visit http://www.yale.edu/summerbuds and download the application.

****Update: The preferred deadline has passed, but we are accepting project proposals with a rolling admissions policy.****

Spend your summer in New Haven, work towards social change on a project YOU design, and earn $3,000.

Fellowship Dates: June 3 - July 29, 2009

Initiated in 1968, the Dwight Hall Summer Fellowship Program is an eight-week, paid program for ten Yale undergraduates who propose projects designed to address community needs. The fellows typically work with established non-profit organizations or civic groups to craft and execute their projects. During the summer the fellows gather for weekly dinners to meet with community leaders, discuss the broader context of their work, and reflect on the progress of their proposed goals.
