About AliefVotes:

Powered by Houston City Council Member Tiffany D. Thomas, AliefVotes is a 501(c)(3) program that empowers youth civic engagement in Alief, a community in Southwest Houston. 


About the Fellowship: 

The AliefVotes Fellowship Program is a year-long intensive for students to receive interactive civic engagement training, leadership opportunities, and unique non-partisan government experiences. 

This program is a great opportunity to gain leadership experience, resume-worthy skills, and further community within Alief through engaging and thoughtful civic engagement. No experience needed.

Students selected will: 
  • Receive a $300 stipend and merchandise at the end of the Fellowship.
  • Learn about the enriching history and progression of the Alief community.
  • Attend comprehensive civic engagement and leadership trainings in the fall semester. Topics include non-profit management, voter education, local governance, and community organizing.
  • Be empowered to organize a community event in the spring semester, such as a voter registration drive, workshops, park clean ups, volunteering events, food drives, and more with a supplied budget. 
  • Meet community mentors—including elected officials, community leaders, business organizations, and non-profit staff for recommendation letters, relationships, and more. 

Application Advice: The more you write in this application, the more we know, and the greater the chance you will be accepted.
