Al Jacobson / Communities Without Borders Traveling Fellowship

It sponsors two First Parish high school students or adults annually to travel with CWB and support its mission in Zambia. Each year, two fellows will be selected and awarded $2000 (approximately half of the cost) to participate in the annual CWB service trip to Zambia.
