Raices de Esperanza 2015 Fellowship Application

Thank you for your interest in Roots of Hope's Fellowship Program!

Roots of Hope is truly an inspiring place to work. Our team members are diverse and talented, but most importantly derive their motivation from a genuine belief in our mission and values. We look forward to providing you with the opportunity and resources for a rewarding time.

This program is designed for potential Roots to get to experience what working with a specific team within Roots of Hope is like. Our fellows will have the opportunity to work on special projects, interact with the team and its Director on a constant basis, and experience "la familia". Fellows are required to volunteer 10 hours per week and are preferred to be in Miami for the duration of the Spring/Summer Program. Accommodations will be made only in special circumstances.

Please fill out the application thoughtfully in order to be considered for the position.
