The Bilingual Capacity Building Fellowship is an unpaid position, in which college credits can be earned. We are seeking an applicant who could work 8 hours/week from September 15-December 15!

The Prometheus Radio Project builds and advocates for participatory radio as a tool for social justice organizing and community expression. Over the past 10 years we have helped launch dozens of participatory radio stations including two primarily Spanish language farmworker led radio stations; Radio Conciencia in Immokalee, Florida and Radio Moviemiento in Woodburn, Oregon. In the coming years we are hoping to partner with many more Latino immigrant community organizations to start participatory radio stations that will serve as tools in their campaigns for economic human rights and social justice. To that end we are working towards becoming a bilingual organization and have created the Bilingual Capacity Building Fellowship to help us reach that goal.
