Community Broadband Policy Fellowship - Young Elected Officials Network

The Young Elected Officials Network has announced a one year fellowship working on community broadband. Applications are due on January 4.

The Young Elected Officials Network is looking for an outstanding candidate for a yearlong Community Broadband Public Policy Fellowship starting early January 2012. A program of People For the American Way Foundation, the Young Elected Officials (YEO) Network is an organization that works to unite and support progressive elected leaders between the ages of 18 and 35 who share a passion for building communities that reflect the values of freedom, fairness, and opportunity. Located in Tallahassee, FL and Washington D.C., the YEO Network supports and equips members as they define issues, develop solutions, and respond to the needs of their communities. Through policy and research assistance, skills and issue training, personal and professional development, and meaningful networking opportunities, the YEO Network is working to transform the political vision of our elected leaders into progressive action. The YEO Network Community Broadband Policy Fellow will work in our Washington D.C. office, for 1 year, and will work to expand community broadband initiatives through strategic outreach and support of our YEOs around the country. Serving as our resident expert on broadband access and digital equality issues, this Fellow will also provide support in the research, development, exchange, and dissemination of other policy resources from diverse issue areas. The YEO Network Community Broadband Policy Fellow position is expected to work no less than 25 hours a week and comes with a paid hourly wage.

We look forward to working with whoever the YEO Network brings on board and look forward to having some more energy in the community broadband space.
