In 2018, Dream of Detroit, a local community organization focused on housing and economic development around the Muslim Center of Detroit, will host two full-time Summer Fellows from June 27 – August 28.

These fellows, between the ages of 16 to 21, will work closely with DREAM’s core leaders to drive forward essential projects over an eight-week period. The fellows will get exposure to the community development landscape in Detroit, visit city landmarks, meet with prominent community members, and be mentored by successful young professionals. They’ll also receive a modest stipend for their time and commitment, and will qualify for community service hours. Upon completion of the fellowship, participants will receive a formal recognition and be eligible for letters of recommendation as needed.

The responsibilities of the Summer Fellows will include, but may not be limited to:

• Host, with the support of our Community Organizing Team, community engagement events and volunteer meetings in July and August
• Put on the 2018 August Street Fair
• Create and execute a youth engagement plan
• Produce compelling video and photo content for DREAM’s website and social media
• Lead production and distribution of promotional materials for major summer and fall events
• Create press releases and other media outreach materials
• Light neighborhood maintenance (lawn mowing, trash pickup, etc.)

Timeline for the fellowship:

• January 15 – Application period opens
  We will review applications and interview candidates on a rolling basis
• March 30 – Deadline application
• April 1 – June 20 – Accepted fellows are encouraged to engage deeply in DREAM’s ongoing work
• June 27 – Fellowship officially begins
• August 28 – Fellowship officially ends
