- Fellows spend their year engaged in faith-based leadership development opportunities through coaching, retreats, and small groups.
- Fellowship opportunities are currently offered in the fields of Ministry, Finance, Graphic Design, Food Justice, Housing Resources, Advocacy, Public Policy, and Higher Education
- We are constantly adding new sites to offer more vocational opportunities to young adults - and we would love to hear your ideas too!
