AYA COMMUNITY
SERVICE SUMMER FELLOWSHIP
The Association
of Yale Alumni Community Service Summer Fellowship
(CSSF) is one of the most important programs supported by The
Yale Club of Philadelphia.
This program was initiated by the AYA in the fall
of 1989 to provide Yale undergraduates and graduate/professional
students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in full-time
community service work during the summer months while still being
able to earn sufficient funds to meet the required summer earnings
component for students receiving financial aid from the University.
The Fellowship places Yale students in paid eight-week
community service positions in cities across the country and abroad.
The program is coordinated in partnership with the local Yale
Clubs/Associations, which are responsible for:
- Selecting a non-profit, direct service work agency in
conjunction with the AYA Staff;
- Raising funds for the stipend for the Summer Fellow(s);
and
- Providing housing for the Summer Fellow(s) for the eight-week
period of the Fellowship
Since its inception, over three hundred students have taken part
in the program. The Yale Club of Philadelphia is proud to e one
of only 5 Yale Clubs (the others are Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles
and Washington) out of 48 total to have participated in this program
every summer since its inception in the summer of 1990. With the
2 Fellows sponsored in 2004, the Yale Club of Philadelphia has
sponsored a total of 20 Summer Fellows (a total surpassed only
by Boston (49), Washington (36) and Chicago (26)). Set forth below is a brief history of the Yale Club of Philadelphia's

The AYA criteria require a significant amount of direct contact
with the ultimate beneficiaries of the organization — rather
than just helping the organization accomplish its goals, no matter
how worthy they may be. If you know of a non-profit organization
that could benefit from having a Yale student work there next
summer while providing that student with a meaningful experience,
please contact us.
