INterested in hosting a phase II Fellow?

AMI expands its impact through partnerships with area non-profits. AMI provides partner organizations with passionate, trained individuals for one year and contributes approximately $29,000 for the Phase II Fellow's salary, mentoring, continuing education, professional development, and related costs. Non-profit organizations that support AMI's mission and are located within Highland and Augusta Counties are encouraged to apply to host a Phase II Fellow. AMI expects all partner organizations make a financial contribution to support the Fellow.
