About Us
The Journey Fellowship for Students is a unique opportunity for students to explore careers working with youth and become better grounded in who they are. Through a grant from the Lilly Endowment, we are able to provide opportunities for students to
- learn about career options in youth development and explore the field through a paid internship at an Indiana youth-serving organization;
- attend retreats and programs focused on personal exploration and development; and
- network with professionals in the field of youth work and make job connections
If you are interested in learning more, please contact Kelly Frank.

Other Projects
www.careerswithyouth.org
A website devoted to academic and career resources to help students become more informed about career options working with youth.
Indiana Youth Development Credential
The IYD Credential was created as a professional development option for people who work with school-age children and youth. It is awarded after a person has some experience, has taken some prescribed training and is able to demonstrate competence in working with children and youth.
Mapping Youth Work Pathways
The Journey along with partners from The Recreation Development Network are mapping the academic preparation and professional development opportunities for Indiana youth workers. We intend to create a “map” of all the existing academic and professional development opportunities available to people in or entering the field of youth development.
