Program Information and Background

What  does a Journey Fellow do?

· Learn about and explore career opportunities to work with and serve young people

· Engage in exploration and self-reflection about personal values, passions, interests, hopes and dreams

· Network and build relationships with students, faculty, and youth professionals from a variety of fields who share similar interests

· Learn about and access resources on campus to make the college experience more meaningful and relevant to Fellows career interests

· Gain insight through potential credit-bearing internships and job-shadowing that allow Fellows to see how their passions can be applied in the real-world

Background

Leadership & Renewal Outfitters, through a grant from the Lilly Endowment, has offered a yearly fellowship program for young people throughout the state of Indiana .  This fellowship experience provides students interested in careers working with young people, a 9-12 month opportunity for career and self-exploration.

 Since 2003, three rounds of fellows (ages 16-23) have been given time, space and resources to:

·    better ground themselves in who they are

·    connect with other students who share similar career interests

·    be inspired to consider what they can do to positively impact the lives of young people
