Education Partnerships Fellowship 2025

The EdP Summer Fellowship is an opportunity for Stanford students to work intensively either within early childhood education or secondary education. During summer 2025, we will only be hiring for Fellows working with high school students.

Education Partnerships (EdP) programs address education equity in our local communities by engaging Stanford students and community youth in tutoring and mentoring relationships. Three of these programs host summer programs for local youth – EPASA (East Palo Alto Stanford Academy), HSSI (High School Support Initiative), and Ravenswood Reads. This year EdP Summer Fellows will complete the majority of their fellowships at the East Palo Alto Academy and Menlo-Atherton High School sites, while also supervising youth on field trips to campus and other locations.

Spring Preparation
During the Spring, HSSI Fellows attend and participate in team meetings, trainings, and skill development, which is informed by the curriculum from EDUC 102. Fellows can expect to meet at up to 1.5 hours a week.

The summer portion of the program is a nine-week fellowship, where fellows gain experience and skills in:

• Creating a unit plan and accompanying lesson plans
• Teaching classes and/or leading workshops and activities
• Mentoring youth as they develop their socioemotional skills
• Working with a team to implement an off/on-campus summer experience for youth
