Aly Moser, a University of Illinois at Chicago student in the School of Public Health and the Jane Addams College of Social Work, will be implementing a wellness program at Oakley Square apartments that focuses on job preparedness and educational attainment while building self-efficacy with individual residents. She seeks to raise $750 for program supplies that will be used for individuals to attain their goal, such as CTA passes to attend job interviews, application and certification fees, purchasing work appropriate clothing, etc.

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 the summer of 2016, the Schweitzer Fellows for Life network launched FellowsFest 2016 (formerly Summer Fest), a 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.

The Chicago Areas Schweitzer Fellowship is a program of Health & Medicine Policy Research Group. Your Summer Fest donation will appear on your credit card statement at "Health & Medicine."
