The Polaris Young Adult Leadership Network’s inaugural fellowship program launched in 2023 and we have since welcomed two remarkable cohorts. Each fellowship cohort consists of a select number of individuals nominated by ministry partners across the nation and representing a diverse denominational ecology. The fellowship experience begins with a fall in-person Opening Retreat on campus at Princeton Theological Seminary and the programmatic year concludes with another in-person Closing Retreat. Fellows participate in a year-long leadership acceleration program designed to build relationships with one another and strengthen leadership in their local context. They benefit from resources including funding to support or launch a local project, coaching, spiritual direction, and opportunities to visit and learn from leaders who inspire them.
We are pleased to announce the fellowship will now be available for application nationwide for the 2025-2026 cohort. Young adult Christian leaders from across the country can apply to the fellowship program in Spring 2025. Applications are limited to individuals who reside within the United States. Applications will be accompanied by Letters of Recommendation, a Curriculum Vitae/Resume, and brief reflective responses based on leadership prompts. Fellowship interviews will be offered to prospective candidates and fellowship acceptances will be offered by Summer 2025.
