How It Works

Each year, CivicSpark recruits Fellows through a highly competitive application process.

Fellows spend between 6 to 11 months embedded in government agencies and community organizations, serving between 900 to 1,300 hours implementing a needed sustainability and resilience project, while also building long-term capacity to ensure the work is sustained after their service year. While all projects are unique, your Fellow’s service will include:
