FELLOWS FOR LIFE
Fellows for Life are those individuals who have completed their first year experience as Schweitzer Fellows. The Fellows for Life network includes individuals from our ten programs in the United States, as well as those who have served as Lambaréné Schweitzer Fellows in Africa.
Today, the Fellows for Life network includes more than 2,000 physicians, nurses, lawyers, public health specialists, social workers, pharmacists, occupational therapists, and others in health-related fields.
The mission of Fellows for Life is to create a growing cohort of health and human service professionals who are leaders in service, and whose sense of personal and professional mission and source of deepest satisfaction comes from:
• working in, and with, underserved communities in ways that have enduring value;
• supporting and inspiring one another in forging and sustaining lifelong paths of service;
• encouraging institutions and professions to promote service as a core value.
STAYING INVOLVED
There are a variety of ways in which Fellows for Life remain engaged with the Fellowship. Activities include an Annual Fellows for Life Conference, regional networking and skills building events, participating in local programs’ events, receiving eNewsletters, mentoring a first-year Fellow, serving on selection committees for new Fellows, and serving on local programs’ advisory boards.
ASF has also created three on-line resources for Fellows for Life to help support and inspire one another in lives of service.
