Providing Community Benets
Every summer Yale University pays a stipend
to nearly 40 Yale students who spend the
summer working with government agencies
and local nonprot organizations to further
strengthen New Haven.
Yale Presidents Public Service Fellows have volunteered with programs such as the Eli
Whitney Museum, JUNTA, Solar Youth, New Haven Promise, and The Boys and Girls Club
of New Haven. Here, a fellow works with a camper at the Eli Whitney Museum. For more
