[Libs-Or] EDI Fellowship Application is live NOW

[Marci Jenkins]

Hello everyone (In particular, Children and School Librarians)


The ALA Association of Libraries in Service to Children (ALSC) is opening a second round of fellowships and applications are live now.

Five ALSC fellowships will be awarded to American Indian/Alaska Native/First Nations, Asian, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Middle Eastern, and/or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander individuals who have committed to service within ALSC and demonstrated a capacity for future leadership.

Fellowship recipients will receive funding for two-year ALSC and ALA memberships and one year of conference registrations and travel stipends, if applicable, for the ALA 2020 Midwinter Meeting and 2020 ALA Annual Conference. Fellowship recipients will also received mentorship from members of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion within ALSC Task Force and participate in projects with their cohort.

The purpose of the fellowship is to engage potential ALSC leaders, especially those that have experienced barriers to involvement in the past. Priority will be given to applicants who are new to ALSC and have not had the opportunity to serve on an ALSC committee.
In 2018, two fellows were selected from Oregon! Applications are DUE August 31st
