Accepted Fellows receive free housing, an educational grant of $700-$1000/month (site dependent), and valuable experience through: Participation in Horseshoe Farm's innovative approaches to improving health, education, and community health systems; Work supporting health providers, teachers, and other community leaders; Direct work with seniors, adults living with mental illness, and children; Close work and collaboration with a team of other talented Fellows; First-hand exposure to health systems, to health policy, and to community health in action; Direct experience impacting social determinants of health and learning about the biopsychosocial model; Experience with operations in a community-based non-profit organization; Community Engagement work in support of other civic, business, non-profit, and governmental organizations throughout the community and other opportunities to get to know their local community; Ongoing mentorship and teaching and weekly readings and discussions. Fellows consistently go on to some of the top medical, nursing, public health, health management, and education programs in the nation and several have received the most prestigious scholarships and awards at their respective institutions.
Benefits:
To help Fellows partially offset educational costs related to their year of volunteer service and learning, Horseshoe Farm provides shared housing and utilities free of charge to Fellows and an educational grant/transportation reimbursement that is intended to help Fellows partially offset other basic living costs and their significant transportation costs related to the Fellowship. Finally, we are able to provide a small relocation grant to each Fellow to help partially offset their costs of moving ($100-$300 depending on distance).
**Due to differing costs of living, the Alabama and Pomona Fellows receive different amounts of funding for their educational grants, which partially offset basic living expenses and gas/transportation expenses related to the Fellowship and the extensive use of Fellows’ own vehicles for transportation of participants.
This event has been tagged as cuse, fellowships, and wellness.
