Catalytic Leaders Across the Country
Polaris connects and empowers young Christian leaders navigating their unique contexts. A variety of resources and networking experiences will be publicly available for catalytic leaders who are looking for ways to build relationships with other like-minded folks. Opportunities to engage will cover topics like mental health, vocational discernment, holy imagination, and innovation. Sign up here and you’ll be the first to know when these opportunities are available.
Fellows
Christian young adults nominated by collaborative partners across the United States participate in a year-long leadership acceleration program that provides a national and ecumenical community of belonging. Fellows receive financial support for leadership and project development in their neighborhoods, communities, and congregation.
Advisors
On a rolling basis, young adult leaders advise the Network by providing strategic vision, guiding priorities and decision-making, and interpreting research. Advisors serve on a one-year term.
