What is the Community Fellow Program?
The Community Fellow (CF) Program is an experiential learning program that allows public or nonprofit organizations of the Walla Walla Valley region to apply for the opportunity to create an unpaid, part-time fellowship addressing some of the area’s social, economic and cultural challenges. These fellowships are then shared with second-, third- and fourth-year Whitman students so they may beghin to apply to become a ‘Fellow’ of that organization.
Community Fellows meet leaders of nonprofit or public Walla Walla Valley organizations, receive professional mentoring including targeted career development guidance, and the opportunity to collaborate broadly addressing important issues in southeastern Washington from environmental stresses to social equity.

Whitman’s Community Fellow program is supported in large part thanks to a grant from the Donald and Virginia Sherwood Internship Endowment.
