Civic Literacy Fellows
The Student Fellows Program at Appalachian State University is a paid leadership opportunity that empowers students to play a pivotal role in promoting civic literacy and engagement across campus. The program’s core goal is to increase awareness and participation in democratic processes, particularly focusing on voter education and constructive dialogue. The fellows organize and lead activities such as voter registration drives, voter turnout efforts and educational presentations about democracy. Fellows work individually and collaboratively to engage the entire campus community of the ongoing mission of civic literacy on App State’s campus by creating an informed, active and involved student body.
