The New Orleans Fellows Program hopes to enable young, Christian leaders to reshape New Orleans in the image of God’s Kingdom.

During this eleven-month Christian leadership-development and training program, ten young men and women live together and work in the community while they explore how Christ has called them to serve others. The Fellows typically work in local non-profit organizations, chosen with regard to each Fellow’s area of interest, under the direction of Christian community leaders. The Fellows are also enrolled in advanced theological and urban studies coursework and participate in an ongoing dialogue with some of the most-respected men and women involved in urban Christian ministry. The New Orleans Fellows Program welcomes men and women who seek to develop a more clear vision of God’s call to action in their lives before thy embark on their professional careers, no matter their career aspirations.

Each Fellow receives a community mentor whose rich life-experiences and mature Christian worldview help the Fellow develop his or her own plans and goals. Weekly round table discussions and shared meals provide the Fellows a chance for sharing and community with one another and program leaders.

We are now accepting applications online until May 31, 2010 for the program at www.neworleansfellows.com.
