Harvard Club of Cape Cod

The Harvard Club Summer Community Service Fellowship

Donations from Club members support one or more Harvard students in their 10-week community service project for a Cape Cod non-profit organization.  Student work is intended to have a meaningful impact on the non-profit and the Cape community in addition to being an important learning experience. 

Student Applications

HCCC works with the Harvard Center for Public Service to find students with an interest in a public service project on Cape Cod.  Students who have lived on the Cape are given preference, although any student willing to work on the Cape is considered.  Applicants are encouraged to reach out to any 501(c)(3) non-profit on the Cape and Islands in their area of interest and discuss possible projects, ideally with measurable milestones that can be achieved in the 10 week period.  Applicants must submit a resume and their student record, a description of the project and a letter of support from the sponsoring non-profit.

We encourage any student who needs help connecting with a Cape Cod non-profit to contact Anne Tupper (2annetupper@gmail.com). 

Sponsoring Organizations

Participating organizations should have work that is challenging and offers students the opportunity to learn new professional skills, and achieve a meaningful objective within a 10 week period.  Organizations should also be willing to discuss the project with the potential fellow and allow their interests to shape the work.  For a list of sponsoring non-profits click here.
