Apply for a funded PKG Fellowship for IAP 2023!
MIT PKG Center
Deadline: Wednesday, October 19, at noon

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. These can include a student's own social enterprise.

What can you do? Follow your passion and collaborate with a community-focused organization!
You can create your own project, continue work on an enterprise you already started, or learn more about an issue you care about by consulting/interning with an existing organization. Find examples of past projects 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.  We can help with questions about travel and in-person work.

Want feedback on your ideas? Have questions about writing your proposal? Sign-up for an advising session<https://calendly.com/hynd/15min> Can’t make these times? Contact Alison hynd at mit.edu<mailto:hynd at mit.edu> to schedule an alternative.
