Service Learning & Action Research Fellowships for ILR Students
in Buffalo, NY 

Scenes from 2011 High Road Program

Imagine a summer...
grassroots economic development...urban revitalization...small business development...labor-community alliances...poverty alleviation...the green economy...civic engagement...public economic policy...quality job creation...creative culture and the new economy

...working in Buffalo's living laboratory

Since 2009, this fellowship program has provided opportunities for ILR students to participate as a group in research, active learning and service in community-based economic development in Buffalo.

Undergoing dynamic reinvention, Buffalo is home to a rich array of creative organizations 
tackling rust belt challenges. Students will learn about and contribute to vibrant local  innovation by working with nonprofit organizations, government officials, businesses and  labor advocates focused on revitalizing the metro Buffalo economy. Affordable group housing  is available for students not from the area. 

This site is a work in progress...please check back for updates and further information
