• Produce VR 360 content to be used to help people who are reentering society after serving a prison term.  
• Assist with communications on multiple projects as a member of the team.

• A cover letter (no more than 1 page) summarizing your experience and training related to the above requirements, together with a statement of how the Fellowship would further your career goals.
