New participants are accepted into the inVocation Fellows initiative via two routes: (1) They are referred by a pastor or ministry leader to the program as someone who might both benefit from and contribute to it, OR (2) They apply for consideration in the program, and supply a character reference from a pastor, professor, or ministry leader who knows them. In EITHER case, in order to be accepted into the program, applicants must do two things: complete an application and participate in a personal interview with Fellows Director Beth Snyder. The difference lies in the timing. If you are referred to the program, the interview will come first. If you like the sound of the Fellows opportunity, you will then submit a formal application. Alternatively, if you’ve heard about the inVocation Fellows program from a friend, mentor, or this website, you can go ahead and apply online, and then complete the personal interview with Beth afterwards.
