Summer Field Fellowship
The Summer Field Fellowship is a full-time, hands-on opportunity where you’ll work alongside a professional peacebuilding organization that matches your passion. This can be in a domestic community or across the globe.
You’ll experience firsthand how conflict resolution unfolds, putting your skills in dialogue, mediation, research and conflict analysis into practice in the field. Our students find a range of opportunities, including supporting community-driven social justice efforts at home to advancing peacemaking in other countries. No matter what you choose, this fellowship immerses you in real-world challenges, preparing you for a career that makes a tangible, lasting difference.
