OUR PROGRAMS
The Reflect Summer Fellowship is a new iteration of The Reflect Organization’s industry-leading Fellowship model, designed to support the next generation of student mental wellness leaders in higher education. Reflect partners with local and global service-learning organizations to expand its State Recognized Best Practice model, equipping students with the resources and mentorship needed to drive meaningful change in their communities.
The Fellowship is delivered through a hybrid model that includes a seven-week intensive summer curriculum, followed by a year of tailored mentorship to support the implementation of campus-based capstone projects, all overseen by experts at the University of Pennsylvania.
PARTICIPATING STUDENTS RECEIVE:
-
Certification training as a Reflect Peer Facilitator, a state- and nationally recognized best-practice program focused on mental wellness, authentic dialogue facilitation, and community engagement, along with QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training
-
Professional development workshops focused on leadership, networking, and other transferrable skills needed to lead impactful community initiatives
-
Mentorship to develop a tailored capstone project supporting the mental wellbeing of their campus community

A financial stipend or academic credit equivalent

participating in Reflect's student fellowship.
​​Our goal is to develop fellows to be better resourced and more resilient mental wellness peer leaders on their own campuses
and in their own communities.
