Service Opportunity: Project Horseshoe Farm Community Health Fellowship

By partnering and helping to extend relationship-based service to vulnerable neighbors, Horseshoe Farm provides an opportunity to contribute to the social fabric in local communities in a way that cuts across differences between us that can sometimes divide us.
Our approach includes an educational grant-supported “gap year” Service Fellowship that is mobilizing a generation of top recent college graduates from across the nation to serve others as they learn about Horseshoe Farm’s approach to helping others and strengthening community health. Accepted Fellows receive free housing, an educational grant of $700-$1000/month (site dependent), and valuable experience through:

• Mentored relationship focused service to seniors, adults living with mental illness, and children.
• Work supporting health providers and teachers and extending their capacity to provide relationship focused care and support to adults living with mental illness, seniors, and children in local communities.
• Direct service to individuals as a way of positively impacting the psychological and social determinants of health and learning about Horseshoe Farm’s approach to biopsychosocial community health.
• Close work and collaboration with a team of other talented Fellows and ongoing teaching and mentorship from top notch Site Directors.
• First hand exposure to and learning about health systems, health policy, and Horseshoe Farm’s approach to reinforcing and strengthening health and education systems.
• Experience with and learning about operations in a community based non-profit organization.
• Community Engagement work and other opportunities to get to know your local community.
• Weekly reading and discussion series
