Fellowship coordinator

The Fellowship Coordinator helps execute the 2019 SF Fellowship Program alongside Hunter Connell, Mark Hughes, and Chelsea Petrenko. This is an amazing opportunity to build relationships with both expert speakers and new Fellowship cohort, shape CELI's Capstone project and new year-long fellowship, and be an integral part of the leadership team.

The Fellowship Coordinators are responsible for overseeing the development and execution of CELI’s *new* 21-week Fellowship Program in San Francisco. All coordinators will work to ensure the smooth running of the fellowship, communicating with fellows and representing CELI as members of the leadership team. In addition to helping run the weekly sessions, the new coordinator will help execute one of the Fellowship Writing Projects & Capstone Speaking Projects as needed.

Fellowship Key Dates:

  • Orientation: Friday, March 22nd and Saturday, March 23rd

  • Leadership Offsite: Saturday, June 11th

  • Closing Residency: Friday, August 16th and Saturday, August 17th

  • Breaks: Labor Day, Wednesday, May 29th & Fourth of July, Wednesday, July 3rd

Key Responsibilities Include:

  1. Planning and prepping for the semester.  Preparing for the semester includes front loading as much of the logistical work for the semester as possible. Tasks would include the creation of Hivebrite Events, reaching out to confirm speakers and locations, uploading readings for the program.  

  2. Weekly Calls.  Join weekly Thursday calls with the other Coordinators and the SF Director to review the most recent session and ensure responsibilities have been designated for the upcoming week.

  3. Orientation. The Fellowship Coordinators work together with the Executive Director and SF Director to plan orientation. Attendance to the orientation on the afternoon of Friday, March 22nd and Saturday, March 23rd are mandatory as it is the responsibility of the Coordinators to present the requirements of the Fellowship program and help with the operation of Orientation itself.

  4. Coordinating Semester Speakers. This is often the most time-intensive task. Coordinators identify quality speakers (with the help of others on the leadership team and other CELI fellows) and reach out to them, schedule times to discuss CELI and the session they’ve been asked to speak at, assist with PowerPoints when needed, etc.

  5. Identifying locations. Coordinators work with locations we commonly use but also work to identify new spots.

  6. Attending sessions/logistics. Coordinators must commit to attending, and arriving early to as many of the 21-week sessions as possible to help with set-up and logistics, etc.

  7. Other tasks include - Communicating with the fellows weekly, following-up with speakers, posting to Linkedin, and eventually recruiting and transitioning duties to new Coordinators.

Qualifications:

  1. Availability. Coordinators must have the availability and flexibility to meet with speakers during the week in person or via a phone call, reliably attend sessions, and be responsive to both speakers and fellows via phone and email. We estimate that the time commitment for this position is 5-10 hours per week depending on that week's responsibilities.

  2. Motivation. Being a Coordinator requires motivation and excitement about CELI and running the program as the commitments may compete with other parts of your life in any given week. The Leadership team is here to support and organize, but it will be up to you to make the semester great.

  3. Organized. There are many logistics and communications that go into planning the Fellowship. We require that the Coordinators are organized, communicative, and professional.
