The ITP also includes a unique opportunity for students at the university through the pre-service training component. The Community Fellowship program is an interdisciplinary internship opportunity designed to place university students at JCPP partner agencies and increase student knowledge and skills in collaboration. Currently, twenty-five students from eleven disciplines hold the title of Kellogg Fellow. The internship provides students with the opportunity to work in agencies which may not be traditional to their department in the university. The students participate in seminars, a group project which includes a member of the community as a resource and a university course on interdisciplinary collaboration.
Students also receive a stipend for the semester.
The three year implementation grant was awarded to only three national sites. There are also social activities and parent get-togethers. During the weekend the school serves as a community meeting place and a safe environment where children can play. The aim if this project is to build a strong community through education and impact school reform through successful results and research data. Although FRCs provide a host of needed programs to low-income, socially isolated families, little is known about what the families want from these programs.
