The Rhodes Impact Summer Fellowship is an intensive eight-week paid summer experience that challenges students to engage in an impactful internship while receiving F11 credit. Students choose a non-profit within the greater Memphis community, and spend the summer working as an intern with that non-profit.
To see where past Fellows have interned and learn more about their experiences, check out the videos below and our brochures for the past 3 years: 2022 Summer Service Fellowship Brochure, 2023 Summer Service Fellowship Brochure, 2024 Summer Service Fellowship Brochure.
