Border Fellows is a ten month intensive work and service internship on the U.S./Mexico border that challenges recent college graduates to integrate their vocation with God’s heart for outreach, justice and reconciliation. Interns will not only gain experience in their field of study, but will be challenged to realize their God-given gifts and utilize them to serve a wide range of people, including the poor and marginalized in downtown El Paso, the staff at Ciudad Nueva and the community at St. Clements Church. The suburban-urban partnership, combined with the cross-cultural element, makes this a unique opportunity!
Interns will work in their professional field sixteen hours a week and will spend their remaining time serving with Ciudad Nueva Community Outreach and St. Clement’s Church. They will also engage in educational training focused on integrating faith and vocation with ministry outreach aimed at the specific needs of the border region.
Interns will become rich in experience, but more importantly, rich in heart knowledge of God’s desires. They will be better equipped to further God’s kingdom in their future mission fields.

The Charlotte Fellows is a nine-month post-graduate fellowship with the goal of helping recent college graduates treasure Christ above all things and in all things, learning how to live a seamless life of faith in the places to which God has called them.
We are looking for young men and women – mature in their desire to know Christ – who sense God may be calling them to serve him vocationally through full-time employment in the marketplace; men and women who are saying in their hearts, “I desire to love Christ with my whole heart in my professional career, but I don’t know what that should or could look like.”
To work through this and similar questions, each Fellow will live with a host family, work 3 1/2 days per week in a paid internship (with hopes that it is in a field of interest), meet weekly with a mentor, serve and share community with a local church, hear from business and community leaders on a weekly basis, spend one morning per week in Reformed Theological Seminary classes tailored to the Charlotte Fellows, and cultivate and enjoy deep community within the Fellows family. Fellows will also enjoy several weekend retreats together, spend a week in the foreign mission field, and develop a much deeper understanding and enthusiasm for the specific calling that their
loving Father has placed on their lives.
Home to healthy local churches, a thriving business community, and a diverse population, the city of Charlotte exists as an ideal place to spend nine months cultivating this Christ-centered foundation for your adult life. Join us!
The Boston Fellows is a nine-month (Sept-May), whole-life training program for recent university graduates. The program combines a part-time professional internship in the fellow’s field of interest, a workplace mentor, coursework giving a biblical and theological foundation for engagement in the world, cultivation of the spiritual disciplines, active involvement in a congregational community, and Christian service. The fellows are equipped for a lifetime of service in Christ’s kingdom through work, ministry, and daily life.
New Orleans, like many recent college graduates, needs direction. Both the city and the graduate are poised to move onto better things but have so many questions – When? What? and Who will help? How do we move on, rebuild, or restart our lives in a way Christ would want?
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.

The All Saints Fellowship encourages and nurtures post-collegians as they explore “calling” and seek to faithfully live and serve in Christ’s Kingdom. We walk alongside fellows as they work in internships, minister to their neighbors, and learn to understand the world through the biblical lens of the gospel.
Our fellowship affirms that all of life is sacred, and as no work is more righteous than any other, All Saints Fellows are given an option to work in business, the academic world, non-profits, ministry, or philanthropy.
Over the span of two-years, our fellows explore “calling”, with a focus on the relationship between gifting, desire, and opportunity; nurture their relationship with the LORD Jesus through worship, community life, and cultural engagement; gain a theological foundation through the study of God’s Word; and foster a better understanding of the local church through the participation in church ministry.

The Kinston Fellows Program places a special emphasis on glorifying the Lord at work and in the community. On the work front, we offer opportunities in medicine, law, real estate, small business, education, ministry, and others. We work five days a week, at least 25 hours a week, in order to prepare our fellows for the realities of the future. We also consider our work to be apprenticeships as opposed to internships, where your work place boss will be actively mentoring you and helping you to develop useful skills. In the community, we have a passion to not only grow in our walks with Jesus but also to be a part of helping those with little hope. Kinston offers an amazing opportunity to do this given our community’s high level of poverty. Throughout the year, you will also get to go on some amazing trips, meet some extraordinary people, and receive some amazing lifelong tools and lessons, all the while living and learning with a family in the Kinston community.
The Kinston Fellows are excited to accept our fourth class of fellows for the 2010-2011 year. Please check out our website. There, you will find lots of details on our plans for the coming year as well as hear about the amazing year that the 2009-2010 fellows have had.

How do you live a life that’s fulfilling, exciting & authentic as you move into your future?

The program combines internships on Capitol Hill, in local businesses or in nonprofit organizations, graduate level study, service in the church and community and spiritual formation.

Contemporary Christians have all heard the “change the world” rhetoric. But few have paused to reflect on what it means and whether it’s even possible. In his recent groundbreaking book, Culture Making, Andy Crouch makes a shocking claim. You can’t change the world! Sound like bad news? The good news is that there is still something you can do.
The Fellows program at Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis is designed with that “something else” in mind. What is that? It’s vocation, calling, growing into the kind of person God intended for you to become. You’ll never “change the world.” But God might change it through those things he’s called you to do. So finding your calling is what life and the Memphis Fellows is all about.
Calling is found through maturation in Christ. That is why every facet of the Memphis Fellows program is intentionally designed to help young adults begin to assume to responsibilities associated with the mantle of adulthood. We emphasize maturity in church membership and leadership, maturity in relationships, maturity in the workplace, and maturity in the Christian life. That’s because maturity is about growing out of one’s college/youth experience and growing into those things for which one has been uniquely gifted by God. And that’s where you’ll find your calling.
The year is spent studying what the Bible has to say about our mission as followers of Christ. The Fellows’ four-day-a-week, paid internships, their volunteer community services, as well as their host family living situations and personal relationships become the teaching ground for putting into practice that mission. Ultimately, the goal of the graduate level courses of study and roundtable discussions of the 2PC Fellows program is to think and dream about how we, the church, and the world might be radically changed by the Gospel of Christ, and to discover the role to which each has been uniquely called in light of such possibilities.
The setting of Memphis, TN, offers Fellows a unique opportunity for serving, engaging, and transforming the culture for the Kingdom of Christ. Memphis has a long history of rich ethnic and cultural diversity; Asian, Middle Eastern, and Hispanic cultures blend into the dominant cultures of African-American and European-based traditions, making Memphis ripe with ministry opportunities. Second Presbyterian Church is actively involved in the community of Memphis and encourages the Fellows to invest and engage along with them during their tenures here. Additionally the city is ripe with career opportunities. Memphis is home to several Fortune 500 corporations, including Autozone, FedEx, International Paper, and Service Master. Memphis also boasts a top-notch medical community with such leading institutions as St. Jude Children’s Hospital and Research Center being among them. From an artistic standpoint Memphis has long been hailed for its music heritage. Memphis is considered the home of the Blues and Rock and Roll, with both B.B. King and Elvis Presley calling the city home.
