The Community Service Project is an important aspect of the NAAWLI program. It is referred to throughout the leadership development component. Only candidates committed to following through on their projects, even when circumstances change, such as a promotion or job relocation, should accept this opportunity. Fellows report quarterly on their projects during the first year of implementation and semi-annually the second year. In addition, fellows will develop a two-year project timeline to be submitted in June. Although we expect the timeline to be modified as the project progresses, it is the basis for monitoring the project. The framed certificate of program completion is awarded at the end of the second year of the community service project, based on meeting the objective of serving at least 25 individuals each year. We will share progress on the community service project with your the fellows annually. Please consider carefully your decision to apply for the fellowship, based on the project commitment.
