About the Program

Grounded in our belief that advancing the common good is an indispensable ingredient of meaningful work, the Vocare Summer Fellows Program encourages students to build a just and peaceful world. While these can take many forms, these internships should be grounded in theÌýÌýand thus:

  • Provide public service to the community with a special concern for the poor and compassion for the suffering;

  • Respect a worldview that recognizes that all creation is sacred

  • Better the human condition for all people.

The program offers summer grants up to $5,000 to pursue unpaid summer internships at not-for-profit organizations and other institutions that foster civic, communal, and religious engagement and promote the common good. This program hopes to help you engage in service experiences and research both locally and globally to learn from others, find your calling, and expand your imagination when thinking about your professional life.Ìý
