UVA A Community Fellows Program for Public Interest Technology

The goal of our project was to create a community fellowship program that intentionally fosters civic innovation, including equity-related projects, and gives innovators the space, network, and support to realize success. Our project resulted in a new class of community fellows at the Center for Civic Innovation (CCI), a nonprofit based in Charlottesville, Virginia. Employees and students at the University of Virginia assisted in the fellows class as mentors and instructors. The community fellows program can serve as a model for other university/community partnerships to foster community-lead public interest technology (PIT) projects.
