Princeton Project 55

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Princeton Project 55 is a nonprofit organization established by members of the Class of 1955 at Princeton University to mobilize alumni and students, and others who share their concerns, to provide civic leadership and to develop and implement solutions to systemic problems that affect the public interest. It was born of the realization that there is a vast untapped resource, available for the public good, among groups of college alumni.

Project 55 offers jobs all over the United States in two programs; the Public Interest Program and the Public Health Fellowship. The Public Health Fellowship program was created in 2006.

The 2007-2008 Project 55 Fellowship Program has 72 Princeton graduates in over 60 organizations. More than 10% of the graduating class of 2007 applied for a PP55 fellowship.
