The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship is an opportunity for graduate students in Public Health and other health and human service fields to actualize their vision for humanitarian service and develop their skills as social entrepreneurs. Fellows create programs that impact health either directly through clinical programs or indirectly by addressing the social determinants of health. They receive a stipend as part of the fellowship. The goal is to create professional development for students and sustainable human service for the safety net.
Fellows work under the guidance of a faculty mentor and a community mentor with a vulnerable population or in an underserved community. The fellowship project involves 200 hours of service and at least 100 hours of direct human service. Fellows meet monthly as a cohort, discussing core competencies such as cultural humility, trauma-informed service, and social entrepreneurship, among other topics relevant to humanitarian service. They share updates and challenges in their projects and collectively offer suggestions for improvement. During the Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday, the fellows work together on a service project and reflect on Dr. King's role as a model for humanitarian service.
More than 4,000 "Fellows for Life" completed the fellowship and are located throughout the United States. They interact as a learning and advocacy network. There are 13 chapters throughout the United States, one in Detroit, serving the southeast Michigan region.
