Harvard Law School Food Law & Policy Clinic: Now Accepting Applications for Mississippi Delta Fellowship in Clarksdale, MS!

The Mississippi Delta Fellowship connects a recent law school graduate or post-graduate degree recipient to community-centered work in the Mississippi Delta. Based at the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi (CFNM) in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the Fellowship is a unique opportunity to catalyze community change through developing and managing interdisciplinary projects in the Delta region. The position provides opportunities for professional development, especially in the areas of project management, community relations, coalition building, nonprofit leadership, research, and writing. Previous Fellows have gone on to careers in policymaking, teaching, research, film-making, and professional legal practice in community development.

The Fellow helps coordinate the Delta Directions Consortium (DDC), an interdisciplinary group of academic institutions, community-based organizations, and foundations focused on pursuing improvements in health, food systems, education, and economic development in the Mississippi Delta Region. In addition to working with the CFNM, the Fellow also works closely with the Harvard Law School Food Law & Policy Clinic (of the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation) (FLPC) and the Harvard Law School Mississippi Delta Project, as well as with other members of the DDC. The Delta Fellowship is supported by the CFNM and the Winokur Family Foundation.
