The purpose of the fellowship is to teach individuals about the global water crisis, and inspire them to become leaders in the field of international development. Fellows are grouped in teams of four and paired with a rural community in Northern Region Ghana. Before traveling to Africa, each Fellow works to raise the fellowship fee which covers all of their in-country expenses, including the capital and monitoring cost of a new CWS water business.

This is an important election and winning these battleground states will be the key to an Obama victory.

As a Campaign Associate, you'll be a part of the fight to keep the White House, re-elect President Obama, and ensure that our values are protected in Washington. Work for Progress: Work for Progress was started by a group of committed activists in the early part of 2008, to help activist-minded jobseekers connect with progressive campaigns and organizations. In the excitement of the presidential primaries, it became clear to find jobs with progressive campaigns and organizations. Fair Share: Fair Share works to provide every American with a fair shot at a good job, a secure future and a strong voice in our democracy. But powerful entrenched interests are gaming the system to their benefit while denying everyone else a fair shot. We need to stand up to the 1% and their allies in Congress that block progress at every turn. Through door-to-door canvassing and grassroots lobbying we press local and national government to do its job and defend working families against the privileged and the powerful. Campaign to Keep the White House: With less than 6 weeks left until Election Day, we have a small opportunity to make a big difference in the future direction of our country. We’ve made huge economic gains in the last four years—everything from the economic stimulus, to Wall Street Reform, to saving Detroit. A Romney/Ryan Presidency would turn the clock back on these gains and only further imperil the health of the middle class. In the next 2 months, you’ll have the chance to join our fight to keep the White House and save the middle class.

Field Representative Get paid to be a College Republican! The College Republican National Committee (CRNC) is in the process of hiring 60 full-time field representatives for Operation Red November 2012, the largest field program in our organization's history and the largest program of its kind targeting young Republican voters in the United States. A field representative gets paid to recruit, train, mobilize and engage college students in support of Republican candidates, policies and principles. Specific tasks include recruiting on college campuses, signing up volunteers, and organizing College Republican phone banks and neighborhood walk operations designed to identify Republican voters and get them to the polls on Election Day. Essentially, field representatives promote and organize the participation of young conservatives in Republican campaigns. Why should I do this? The position is one of the most sought after political jobs in the country, with state-of-the-art training and an opportunity to develop a nationwide network of contacts. Many former field representatives are currently working in think tanks, consulting firms, Congressional offices, national Republican committees (i.e. Republican National Committee, etc.), state Republican parties (North Carolina Republican Party, etc.), and many other conservative and Republican organizations across the country. In short, this position has a history of opening the door to the world of politics for its participants. Other benefits include: -Launch a career in politics by earning very valuable grassroots organizing and  campaign experience that political employers are looking for; -Meet thousands of new people, including potential employers; -Work in a fast paced environment during an exciting time to be a Republican; -Doing something new everyday - there is no "typical" day; -Possibility for job referrals and references; and -Most transportation, cell phone, and miscellaneous expenses will be covered by the  College Republican National Committee.

Each field representative will be deployed to one highly competitive battleground state where young Republican voters will make a real on-the-ground difference for GOP candidates. Each field representative will be assigned one region of one state (Ex: Western Ohio). A field representative will do the lion's share of his or her work in their assigned region. Due to the nature of the program, participation will likely require extensive travel and temporary relocation for up to three months. Tell me about the training... Field representatives will receive cutting-edge grassroots and get-out-the-vote training that will equip them with the tools they need to successfully recruit, train, mobilize and engage college students in support of Republican candidates, policies and principles in 2012. The week long training will be held in Washington D.C. in early August. Travel and lodging expenses will be paid by the College Republican National Committee. Let's talk dollars and cents... Contract pay for field representatives is typically $1,600 per month for the duration of the program depending on the quality of the applicant. Each field representative will also be reimbursed on a monthly basis for up to $2,000 in lodging expenses, $750 in gas and travel expenses, $300 in miscellaneous materials expenses and $75 in cell phone expenses.
