The D?n Thân Fellowship Program (also named VACAP) at NAVASA seeks to engage emerging Vietnamese American community leaders who are between the ages of 21 and 35 and who have a strong interest in using community development strategies to build strong communities. Fellows will dedicate 11 months to community service. During the service period, fellows will engage in a variety of programs to meet critical needs in their communities. Area of programs are, but not limited to, housing, employment, education, child and senior care, and health care.
In addition to making an impact on the lives of community members across the country, fellows will participate in a leadership training program. Through this program, fellows will learn to assess community needs and the root causes of community problems and to organize collective power to bring about social change, to gain social and political influence, and to ensure equitable access to public and private resources for the community. Fellows will learn leadership and management skills to manage projects and, in the long-run, non-profit organizations.
The term of the fellowship is 11 months. The 2005-2006 fellowship is from November 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006. In addition to monthly stipends and a comprehensive benefit package, which includes vacation time, health and dental insurance, fellows will receive relocation assisistance if applicable, and a $4,000 bonus at the completion of their service.
