Tulsa Service Year (TSY) is an organization that recruits and pairs a handful of exceptional, change-driven college graduates from across the U.S. for a one-year paid fellowship with a Tulsa nonprofit organization, running from May to May.

Pierre is paired with The National Albert Schweitzer Fellowship, an organization that develops leaders in a year-long, co-curricular leadership and community impact program to address unmet health needs in various communities. He will support the Tulsa-based Albert Schweitzer Fellowship (ASF) office in strengthening community partnerships, engagement strategies, and program operations with the aim of connecting ASF’s national network to Tulsa’s local leaders, nonprofits, and communities.

“This fellowship will further my career journey in social impact and community engagement, allowing me to work in a mission-driven organization contributing to addressing systemic issues and making a positive social impact,” says Pierre. “Thank you to everyone who has supported me through my journey, from my supervisor Sam Justice, my coworkers and friends at the Center for Leadership and Community Engagement, and all the additional staff and faculty who have empowered me at Rollins College.”
