About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Civil Rights / Social Justice
Civics / Government
Mission: 

Pacific County Voices Uniting is a 100% BIPOC-led organization that aims to shift, balance, and develop a culture of healthy civic engagement. In a county with large disparities, we are uniting cross-cultural and multi-generational demographics to participate in collaborative social movements that increase civic engagement through education, create more reflective representation and build political power.

Programs: 

Through education and other methods of engagement, we facilitate opportunities for community members to participate in the civic process and exercise collective power. We build authentic relationships with and increase the capacity of current and future leaders to understand issues and create more reflective representation of our diverse communities. As we grow and expand our resources as an organization, we develop community, regional, statewide and national partnerships to connect with broader political movements.

Why Work For Us?: 

Pacific County is home to diverse communities with deep roots in the region. However, people of color, the LGBTQIA2S+ community and people living with disabilities are disproportionately underrepresented and excluded from systems of governance and distribution of resources. Furthermore, in this divisive political climate, many community members have grown hopeless that change can happen. Consequently, community disinterest and disengagement are prevalent. PCVU is committed to building trusting relationships and bringing our communities together so that change is possible.

By lifting and supporting BIPOC leadership, we strive to promote systems and policies that create equitable access to resources for those often forgotten or silenced in our communities. More specifically, we seek racial, political, social, and economic justice for those most marginalized in our communities: Black, Indigenous, Mexican/Hispanic/Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander peoples of color, the LGBTQIA2S+ community, and people living with disabilities both seen and unseen.

About Us
Areas of Focus: 
International
Mission: 

The Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship was established in 1987 to recruit and train the next generation of policy and advocacy leaders on a range of international peace and security issues. The fellowship ensures a pipeline of the brightest, most dedicated, and diverse next-generation experts into leading think tanks and advocacy groups in Washington, DC in order to inspire creative new approaches to the pervasive challenges to peace and security.

Programs: 

Twice yearly, the fellowship’s Board of Directors selects a small group of outstanding individuals to spend six to nine months in Washington, DC. Scoville Fellows work full time at the participating organization of their choice. They contribute to their host institutions through research, writing, and multi-media advocacy activities. They create conferences and policy briefings, advocacy platforms, and coalitions. Fellows receive a small stipend for professional development and mentoring from a board member and an alum. The program arranges meetings with policy experts so the fellows can ask about issues and career advice, and schedules networking events for the current and former fellows.
 

Why Work For Us?: 

Our goal is to bridge the gap between academia and the professional world by providing an entree for mission-driven grads eager to learn about and contribute to public-interest organizations. The Scoville Fellowship has a proven track record of attracting talented people with strong academic and advocacy backgrounds in international peace and security issues. The majority of former Scoville Fellows continue to work with public-interest organizations or in government capacities after concluding their fellowships, and many go on to graduate degrees in related fields.
