The Joyce Foundation-Civic Consulting Alliance Fellowship, being piloted
in 2012, is a summer internship opportunity in Chicago for graduate
students to gain first-hand policy reform, systems change, consulting,
and philanthropic experience. Fellows will develop consulting and

impact on the Great Lakes region, through:
* Completing a high-impact project for the Joyce Foundation,
working side-by-side with the Employment Program team;
* Developing in-depth content knowledge through research and
analysis;
* Developing an understanding of key non-profit and public sector
issues and approaches as well as foundation policies, operations, and
challenges;
* Support from the Civic Consulting Alliance with project
management and program area expertise to take a consulting approach to
the project; and
* Weekly lunchtime roundtable series includes conversations with
leaders in the government, business, and non-profit sectors.
Applicants should possess:
* At least two years of previous work experience;
* Significant research, analytic, relationship management, and
communication skills;
* Ability to work with a variety of people in a complex political
environment;
* Track record of success and ability to get things done in
multiple settings; and
* Desire to improve the quality of life throughout the Great Lakes
region.
Fellows commit a minimum of 11 weeks beginning in June. Compensation for
the summer program is $5,000 plus any school matching funds (Fellows are
responsible for obtaining matching funds, where available).
