Fredrick Kendricks, an Argosy University-Chicago Counselor Education student, will be leading support groups at a community treatment agency for men and women who have been through the justice system.  He is seeking to raise $500 to help cover project costs, such as CTA fare cards for participants who are in financial need, and healthy snacks to reinforce the healthy eating objectives of the support groups. 

The Schweitzer Fellowship is a year-long service learning program for graduate students in health-related professions who will design and implement innovative direct service projects aimed at improving the health and well-being of underserved Chicago area communities. Through their community projects and participation in a year-long program that includes mentoring support, monthly meetings, written reflection, and interprofessional collaboration, Schweitzer Fellows are developing the skills and confidence needed to become Leaders in Service—professionals who will remain dedicated to public service and to creating change.

In July 2014, the Schweitzer Fellows for Life network launched Summer Fest 2014 a year-long campaign to help support our current Fellows' projects. Each of the Fellows has created a "wish list" of supplies and resources that will help them realize their service project goals.
