NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) Commissioner Gregg Bishop today announced that applications are now open for paid, full-time fellowship positions supporting commercial revitalization projects. The fellowship program is part of Neighborhood 360°, an SBS initiative that strengthens commercial districts that anchor the city’s neighborhoods. The fellowship program pairs future neighborhood development professionals with selected community-based organizations (CBOs) to launch projects related to business attraction and retention, placemaking, and merchant organizing. Since the program began in 2016, a total of 30 New Yorkers have been connected to fellowships at CBOs citywide. Applications to join the fellowship program’s fourth cohort will be open through Sunday, March 3rd, 2019.
“New York City works best when New Yorkers work together,” said Gregg Bishop, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Small Business Services. “With the Neighborhood 360° Fellows program, we’ve created opportunities for future neighborhood development professionals to use their talents to support community-based organizations and build vibrant communities across the city.”
The fourth cohort of Neighborhood 360° Fellows will be placed at CBOs in 10 different commercial districts. Selected participants will begin a 10-month fellowship in June 2019. The new cohort will work with the following CBOs to enhance their respective neighborhoods:
