Award-Winning
Fellowship Programs…

Since 2002, The Journey has hosted professional development programs designed to help aspiring students and practicing professionals begin and renew their careers in youth development. These core fellowships, along with previous programs such as: The International Youth Worker Exchange, The Leadership Symposium on the Sea, and numerous other initiatives, have created a larger Journey community of youth development leaders who are influencing the possibilities for young people in Indiana and beyond.

…For Youth Workers

The Journey Fellowship is a year-long program for youth-serving professionals of influence. Each year up to 30 leading youth workers are nominated and selected to create a learning community and invest in their own personal growth and professional development. The intention is to help transform the profession and field of youth work by grounding leaders in who they are, building a professional community, and inspiring the beliefs of those who dream and do on behalf of young people. These leaders explore what it takes to bring the best of themselves to the profession and the young people they serve.
