Applications are due Jan 15, 2008 for the Wellstone Fellowship for Social Justice and the Villers Fellowship
for
Health Care Justice. Both fellowships are year-long, full-time, salaried positions at the Families USA 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 stipend of $35,000 and excellent health care benefits.
The Wellstone Fellowship
The Wellstone Fellowship for Social Justice http://ga3.org/ct/GdNrJPp1lmV_/ 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 economic, racial and ethnic
minority groups.
The ideal candidate must demonstrate an interest in health care policy and racial/ethnic health disparities.
Additionally, they 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, at:

The Villers Fellowship
The Villers Fellowship for Health Care Justice http://ga3.org/ct/G1NrJPp1lmVL/ 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.
