I hope this email finds you well. My name is Maria Salmeron Melendez, and I am a Graduate Assistant at the MIT PKG Center.

I am reaching out to flag a great opportunity for Biology students interested in public service. The PKG Fellowships program<https://pkgcenter.mit.edu/programs/fellowships/pkg-fellowships/> supports MIT students working on capacity-building social impact and community engagement projects. Students work with community-focused organizations including non-profits and social enterprises. Additionally, students can even explore their own social enterprise, which is awesome!  ​

Students are encouraged to explore their passions through their social impact projects in various ways. From collaborating with community-focused organizations, working on an enterprise they have already started, to consulting with an existing organization, the opportunities are abundant. Examples of past projects can be found here.<https://pkgcenter.mit.edu/blog/>

We welcome a wide range of social impact projects and support work with communities in the US and abroad. For IAP 2022, students must be prepared to work remotely if required to do so by the PKG Center or your community partners. We can help with questions about travel and in-person work.

The PKG Fellowship is a great opportunity for students to explore social impact work, and we are looking forward to connecting with prospective applicants. Students can sign-up for an advising session​<https://calendly.com/hynd/15min?month=2021-09> if they want feedback on their ideas or have questions about writing their proposals. If students can’t make these times, please contact Alison at hynd<mailto:hynd at mit.edu>@mit.edu<mailto:hynd at mit.edu> to schedule an alternative.

Thank you, and have a great weekend!

Best,
Maria Salmeron Melendez​​​
