[kids-lib] ALSC's Equity Fellowship

[Danielle Jones]

Hi everyone,

Please excuse the cross posting, I want to make sure this goes out as far
and wide as possible. Please share with any youth services staff that may
be interested in this opportunity.


*ALSC Equity Fellowship*

ALSC announces new Equity Fellowship! Through the ALSC Equity Fellowship
program, ALSC affirms its commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion by
engaging new generations of racially and ethnically diverse library
professionals.



Five ALSC fellowships will be awarded to American Indian/Alaska
Native/First Nations, Asian, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx,
Middle Eastern, and/or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander individuals
who commit to service within ALSC and demonstrate a capacity for future
leadership. Fellowship recipients will receive funding for two-year ALSC
and ALA memberships and one year of conference registrations and travel
stipends for ALA Midwinter and ALA Annual. Fellowship recipients will also
receive mentorship from members of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
within ALSC Task Force. The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion within ALSC
Task Force will review applications and select recipients.



Applications are now open and will close on *September 14, 2018*. Learn
