At the University of Chicago Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, we want students to have access to academic and cultural resources, but to also have opportunities independent of the classroom and student life. Thus, the following is a list of opportunities where students can go to search for funding, enrich their summers or find work after graduation.

Youth Advisory Council members will have the opportunity to:
  • meet local and national policy movers, shakers and makers
  • receive technical assistance and resources on issues to bring DC to your campus/community
  • attend local and national conferences and trainings including the Annual Advancing Justice Conference
  • gain firsthand experience in local grassroots advocacy organizing to form policy solutions
  • get looped in about exciting post-graduated opportunities

AAJC is offering mini-grants and other resources to help you implement your dream community-based program, campaign or event from start to finish. If you have an idea, we want to support it and watch you make it happen!
