The Fellows convene several times per year, sometimes as a whole and more frequently in smaller subgroups, alongside faculty, staff, and students from Swarthmore’s Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility. The goals are to shape student training programs; to consult on place-based initiatives such as the Chester Community Fellowship and "ChesterSemester"; to explore the feasibility of potential projects and related, collaborative activities; and to implement long-term, transformational strategies. Chester partners also participate as compensated co-educators and guest speakers in Swarthmore classes.
In this recording, you will hear more about this model of sustainable community partnership building and how you can bring this to your campus!
