Kathryn Huber, a Loyola University Chicago law and social work student, will be assisting youth from low income families with expunging non-violent criminal records, and exploring positive options for their future including employment, college, and vocational education.  She seeks to raise $300 to help cover the cost of requesting rap sheets, for which there is a $16 fee that cannot be waived, and to provide CTA passes to youth who otherwise would not be able to afford transportation to and from their appointments and court appearances.

The Schweitzer Fellowship is a year-long service learning program for graduate students in health-related professions who will design and implement innovative direct service projects aimed at improving the health and well-being of underserved Chicago area communities. Through their community projects and participation in a year-long program that includes mentoring support, monthly meetings, written reflection, and interprofessional collaboration, Schweitzer Fellows are developing the skills and confidence needed to become Leaders in Service—professionals who will remain dedicated to public service and to creating change.

In July 2014, the Schweitzer Fellows for Life network launched Summer Fest 2014 a year-long campaign to help support our current Fellows' projects. Each of the Fellows has created a "wish list" of supplies and resources that will help them realize their service project goals.
