Are you interested in racial equity and making a difference in our community?
Central Piedmont is now accepting applications for the Central Piedmont Racial Justice Fellows Program for the 2023-2024 academic year. We will be hiring/engaging five Central Piedmont Racial Justice Fellows who will be part of the Charlotte Racial Justice Consortium (CRJC), composed of five local schools – Central Piedmont Community College, Johnson C. Smith University, Johnson & Wales University – Charlotte Campus, Queens University of Charlotte, and the University of North Carolina Charlotte.
This is a paid stipend position that requires about 6 hours a week. Students will be paid $1000 per semester. Hours are flexible but students must be available on Wednesdays from 4- 6 p.m. to meet with the larger consortium and campus cohort. Some meetings are virtual and many are in-person.
Students will receive racial equity and racial healing training/education, develop leadership skills to create a more comprehensive narrative on race, and experience and learn how to facilitate racial healing circles.
Don’t wait – submit your application today! Applications are due by Friday, Sept. 15.
