Segal Citizen Leadership Program was created to inspire and support new generations of leaders to commit to a lifetime of service and citizen leadership. Segal Fellows are selected each year to become part of the Segal Network by AmeriCorps Alums, Brandeis University, CityYear, the Center for Youth and Communities, and the Corporation for National and Community Service. Annual retreats and other gatherings are designed to develop leadership skills, foster a sense of community, and build relationships between fellows. The goal is to build a community committed to helping each other succeed as citizen leaders, and make the experience of being a Segal Fellow a recognized and valued credential – signifying important leadership qualities, significant developmental experiences, and the support of a network of talented people. Service Fellowship opportunities are available for Brandeis undergraduate students and Heller School Master in Public Policy students. Students intern at private, nonprofit, and public organizations that are committed to purpose-driven missions. Previous internship sites include the office of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, Rep. Edward Markey’s Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, the National Partnership for Women and Families, Teach for America, Health Care For All, City Year, and Share Our Strength. Segal Memorial Lecture was launched in 2007, when former President William Jefferson Clinton delivered the inaugural lecture to over 5,000 people. Periodic lectures will serve as a platform for new and innovative ideas about citizen leadership and national service.
