Practice Civic Responsibility
Conferences
During the Fellows year participants will have the opportunity to attend a wide variety of conferences and lectures that will challenge them in what it means to be involved in the needs of the city they are called to dwell in.
Civic and Nonprofit Visits
Each week Fellows will visit with local nonprofits and civic organizations to learn about issues in the community that these organizations address. The Fellows will learn why those needs are in the city and the history behind them. These visits help the Fellows have eyes to see the brokenness around them and begin to imagine how to be part of restorative change.
Service
During the second half of the Fellows year, each one of the participants will find an organization in Chattanooga to volunteer on a regular basis. This is something each of the Fellows sets up for themselves and allows them to begin personally practicing civic responsibility in their community.
Plan of Intentionality
When the Fellows year comes to an end each participant will present a “plan of intentionality” for their life after the program. As the Fellows learn about ways to faithfully serve the Lord in all of life they are encouraged to write out personally what it means for them to follow the Lord in the places and contexts they will be called to work, serve, and live.
