Fulphil Fellows

Here, the student becomes the teacher

Every summer, we hire our very own students to intern with us to update our courses, so our content is ALWAYS FRESH. After all, who knows it better than our very own students?!

 

 What is a Fulphil Fellow?

Fulphil Fellows are all-star high school, college, and university students who have the chance to work with us over the summer to update our courses that are distributed to various classrooms with thousands of students across the country every year.

We require that Fulphil Fellows either: (a) completed the Fulphil coursework, or its equivalent, in their schools or (b) have had relevant academic or hands-on work experience to the curriculum Fulphil provides.

Summer 2022’s fellows will all be working remotely.

What does a summer with us look like?

  1. 🧐 RESEARCH AND PITCH a topic that is interesting to you and related to one of our courses. We’ve had students do research on Olivia Rodrigo’s virality, Simone Biles at the Olympics, and more!

  2. 🤝 MENTORSHIP is a big part of the fellowship. All Fulphil Fellows have the chance to meet with our Changemaker in Residence mentors who impart wisdom from their own experiences in the sectors related to the courses they are writing. Fulphil Fellows have the opportunity to interview them for their research.

  3. 📝WRITE AND COLLABORATE. Once Fulphil Fellows have their key points fleshed out, it’s time to put it on paper! This is where our Fulphil Fellows let their creativity SHINE. Within your teams, you work together to provide iterative peer-reviewed feedback to each other.

  4. 👩🏻‍🏫 BE THE TEACHER. All Fulphil Fellows get the chance to be in the shoes of their teachers. After completing their written lessons, they will have the chance to convert it into a lesson plan that our Fulphil Teachers will have the opportunity to use across the country to teach thousands of youth!

  5. 📚 PUBLISH. All interns’ work will be published into our curriculum for the upcoming school year.

  6. 💼 CAREER DEVELOPMENT. Our summer internships are meant to be educational stepping stones to help our Fulphil Fellows get to their next big thing. Every summer, we have offered professional development opportunities (e.g. Skills-Sharing, Resume/LinkedIn feedback, college/grad school application guidance).

  7. 🥳 FUN. In between all the business and important stuff, we never forget to have fun—whether it’s a Harry Potter watch party, playing Code Names, battling it out in PowerPoint Karaoke, and more!

AND once you complete a summer with us as a fellow, you might have the chance to become a Project Manager, who manages a whole team of Fulphil Fellows for the upcoming summer!

 

We really care about creating content FOR youth and BY youth

Fulphil creates new content based on annually-collected student and teacher feedback. For instance, this year, we've created a course on sustainability based on the data collected. We also created additional on Diversity & Inclusion based on student feedback on events like Black Lives Matter, hate crimes, and more.

 Fresh. Fun. Fulfilling.

Thanks to you, kids across the country will be learning Economics from the latest TikToks and memes

That is all a reality, thanks to our Fulphil Fellows!

No more stale textbook examples!

Every summer, Fulphil Fellows get the opportunity to pitch their case studies that can be used to apply key course concepts to what they know and see in their everyday lives from media, TikTok, and more!
