2018-19 Project 55 Fellowship Program

Through the Princeton Project 55 Fellowship Program (Project 55), AlumniCorps develops recent Princeton University graduates into civic leaders. Staff and volunteers provide professional development through mentorship, resources, check-ins, seminars, podcasts, and social gatherings, harnessing the power of relationships to effect social change. New this year, AlumniCorps also brings all current Fellows together for a mid-year career-building retreat (see pages 7 and 8). Fellows join a community of about 2,000 alumni who have contributed to more than 500 partner organizations since 1990.

Project 55 offers a sense of security that is particularly critical for a young person of color and second-generation immigrant like me.
