New American Fellowship (NAF) Program

Modeled on Dream Summer and similar programs, the SCC’s NAF provides 10-week research and professional development to 10-15 immigrants each summer. These immigrants have a temporary status or recent refugee experience and often have few other opportunities to access paid and high-quality professional development internships. Through this program, over 100 individuals have graduated and continued to enrich local communities.
