Des Lee Fellowship

The Des Lee Fellowship is designed to cultivate the next generation of philanthropists.

In the Des Lee Fellowship, college juniors combine a 10-week summer internship with a year-long commitment to leadership and community service. The program prepares students to foster community engagement, philanthropy and volunteerism, as well as lead others in making meaningful change in their communities.
