Mike Yarrow Peace Fellowship offered at Western Washington Fellowship of Reconciliation
Offers a year-long training and fellowship program for youth from high school-age to mid-twenties. Fellows learn about peace and justice issues, nonviolent movement building, and gain skills such as public speaking, group leadership, media development, conducting surveys, public relations, outreach, and lobbying. The Fellows meet individual activists, visit organizations, are introduced to current hot issues, and are mentored by experienced activists, public figures, and community organizers from the Seattle area and beyond. After the Intensive Training the Peace Fellows are expected to work on their own project or campaign. The program provides ongoing support to the Peace Fellows by hosting Strategy Support Groups and by providing each Peace Fellow with at least one Mentor.
