Nominate Students for The 2015 Journey Fellowship for Students

Student Nominations and Applications Being Accepted Through January 15th!!!  

 

Do you know a student at an Indiana College or University who would benefit from the Journey Fellowship for Students? Nominate them today!  Nominees should be interested in exploring careers with youth; and either a sophomore or junior at an Indiana college or university.

 

In the past we've had students represent a wide variety of majors and degrees from schools such as:  

  • Ball State University
  • Butler University
  • Indiana State University
  • Indiana University
  • IUPUI/IUPUC
  • Ivy Tech Community College
  • Manchester University
  • Purdue University
  • Purdue University Calumet
  • University of Indianapolis
  • Valparaiso University 

As some of Indiana's best youth workers, we know that you come in contact with students eager to join the field often! Perhaps it was someone who interned with your organization in the past, or is a current employee/volunteer.

 

To nominate someone for the fellowship, please follow this link: 2015 Journey Fellowship Nomination.   

You can also pass along the attached brochure to possible student candidates.  

Once we receive your nominees, we will invite them to apply by sending them an email with an invitation to apply using the online application form.


The deadline for Student Nominations is January 15th! So nominate a deserving student today. Give the gift of The Journey!

Training will be provided. Applicants must have experience in home study preparation, a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in a related social service field, and be able to successfully pass required criminal history checks.  Home study preparation appointments are scheduled directly with the family, so they can often be completed on evenings or weekends, if needed.  Please submit your resume to Karlene@mljadoptions.com by January 15th.
