The Villers Fellowship
The Villers Fellowship for Health Care Justice was created in
2005 by Philippe Villers, Founder and President of Families USA.
Villers Fellows work in our health policy department and assist
our organization's efforts to improve access to health coverage
for all Americans, especially for low-income and other
vulnerable communities. Specifically, Villers Fellows will
conduct research on a range of health care policy issues, and
write and contribute to publications that are relevant to
current health policy debates.
In creating the fellowship, Mr. Villers aspired to develop a
network of young leaders who share a passion for health care
justice. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a commitment to
health care justice work following their year as a fellow.
Additionally, in order to encourage the development of future
leaders, Villers Fellows must commit to mentoring at least one
person over the course of their careers.
The application deadline for the Villers Fellowship is January
15, 2010.
You can find more information, including a downloadable
application form, on our
Web site: http://ga3.org/ct/97MJ7L11Br1x/

The Wellstone Fellowship
The Wellstone Fellowship for Social Justice aims to advance
social justice through health care advocacy by focusing
particularly on the unique challenges facing communities of
color. Through this fellowship, established to honor the memory
of the late Senator Paul D. Wellstone, we hope to expand the
pool of talented social justice advocates from underrepresented
racial and ethnic minority groups.
The ideal candidate must demonstrate an interest in health care
policy and racial/ethnic health disparities. Additionally, we
are looking for an individual who displays the potential to
contribute to social justice work after their year of hands-on
experience as a fellow.
You can find more information, including a downloadable
application form, on our Web site:
http://ga3.org/ct/9pMJ7L11Br13/
The application deadline for the Wellstone Fellowship is
February 5, 2010.
If you have any questions about the Wellstone Fellowship for
Social Justice or would like to request hard copies of the
application brochure, please contact me at
wellstonefellowship@familiesusa.org.
Both fellowships are year-long, full-time, salaried positions at
our office in Washington, DC. Each year, one candidate will be
selected for each fellowship. Selected fellows will receive a
compensatory package that includes an annual salary of $38,000
and excellent health care benefits.
