Estes Park, Colorado (PRWEB) August 11, 2003 -- August 11, 2003 -- The Public Allies Fellowship Program at Eagle Rock School and Professional Development Center will welcome 12 participants to begin their term of service on August 28, 2003.

The Public Allies Fellowship is an opportunity made available to individuals who are passionate about education, youth development and working with 15 - 21 year old students from diverse backgrounds across America who have not found success in conventional school settings.

The Public Allies Fellowship has two perspectives--local and global. The local reason is that Fellows contribute skills, energy, and knowledge to the community. As residents they are involved in student activities and campus life as well as classroom teaching and administration. Like everyone else at Eagle Rock, they serve as role models, take on leadership roles, and live the values expressed through Eagle Rock's commitments.

Public Allies mission is to advance diverse young leaders to strengthen communities, non-profits and civic participation. Its vision is to create communities where people of all backgrounds, beliefs and experiences work together and share responsibility for improving their own lives and the lives of those around them.

The Public Allies Fellowship Program is an AmeriCorps program affiliated with the Corporation for National & Community Service.
