Public Interest Fellowship Program (PIFP): Yearlong Fellowship

Through the Public Interest Fellowship Program (PIFP), Colorado College offers graduating students paid, full-time fellowships with nonprofit partner organizations within Colorado. Eligible students will have completed their CC requirements to graduate between Aug and May of the current academic year. 

CC PIFP Fellows work for 9-12 months for progressive organizations in cities with built-in cohorts of PIFP peers and CC alumni mentors. During their post-graduate fellowship positions, they'll do everything from completing projects that target growth and change in society to entry-level nonprofit work in order to secure a foot in the nonprofit door.

Through the PIFP Yearlong Fellowship you can expect:

• A built-in cohort of PIFP peers
• To be paid to work for social change
• To work in Colorado
• Intentional professional development with PIFP
• The availability of mentoring with CC alumni
• To get your foot in the nonprofit door and make professional contacts for life

Individual job descriptions will be posted on the PIFP website and in Handshake between December  - January each year. You will have the opportunity to indicate interest in specific fellowships offered by partner organizations. An application is required for EACH fellowship of interest via Handshake. A separate PIFP interest, work authorization, & commitment form must be submitted directly to PIFP to complete your application.
