Island Fellows Program
The Island Fellows program is our most visible and valued resource to island communities. Since 1999, more than 70 Island Fellows – bright, talented college and master’s-degree graduates – have worked and lived in coastal and year-round island communities, weaving themselves into the fabric of community life for up to two years while addressing critical local issues.
