St. Louis Fellows Program

3 units

The 3-credit hour summer/ fall course is a substantial experiential curriculum that Fellows complete concurrently will working full-time nonprofit or civic internships with local community partner organizations. It includes an overnight retreat, weekly 2-hour seminars, Engage STL neighborhood tours, and a variety of community events. Seminars utilize a cohort-based learning model in which Fellows practice democracy in action by engaging across difference, practicing dialogue, and applying a civic lens to their professional, academic, and personal lives. Approximately 20 hours of instruction will take place at WashU, and an additional 40 hours of instruction will occur at off-campus locations across the St. Louis region, including nonprofit and civic organizations, local businesses, and other significant institutions.
