Part I Line 1 The CLEO Legally Inspired College Kohorts of Students (CLICKS) fellowship seeks to empower young men in legal careers through sports, entertainment, and health. This multi-state program provides support for success in high school, matriculating to college, and building future careers for 25 underserved NYC high school students, particularly men of color. The CLICK fellow is responsible for outreach to schools and partners, participant selection and orientation, development and execution of monthly programming, and reporting to the Advisory Council on a monthly basis. The CLICKS fellow works 20 hours a week and is paid a stipend of $1,000 monthly. CLICKS is the product of a federally funded project and reimbursed by CLEO. Recruitment and Retention fellowships subsidize fellows who were first year students in New York law schools and were selected among other fellows by the Committee on Recruitment and Retention of Lawyers after a rigorous application process to be matched with legal employers for summer employment. They were then matched with an employer for the summer. These individuals are placed in fellowships with public sector employers who are unable to pay what fellows employed in the private sector received. The fund supplemented those wages.
