The fellowship will build the foundation created through the Asian American Racial Equity Initiative, started by a collaborative of four non-profit Asian American Organizations in Metro Detroit. Established in 2012, the partners of the REI MI Collaborative (APIAVote-MI, BAPAC, Mai Family Services, and MAPAAC) have been working together to address structural inequities faced by Asian Americans in SE Michigan.. The purpose of the REI fellowship program is to build the infrastructure and capacity of partner organizations to host fellows in a community setting that allows fellows to develop a stronger sense of self and leadership skills for community work, while maintaining a strong network across partners dedicated to racial equity.
The REI Fellowship program places fellows with local community based organizations (CBOs). The program aims to build capacity of organizations, and to provide fellows with a well-rounded experience. The fellow will be required to attend all racial equity and organization specific training, with direct supervision provided by site supervisors. The program cohort will be able to work together to build networks across organizations in the Metro Detroit area.
Participants in the fellowship program will:
• Develop a broader understanding of the Asian American landscape in Michigan, including community leaders, stakeholders and allies.
