Many of our Fellows continue on in education, either in their hub city or within a new city (e.g., moving back closer to home). We love to have 3years and beyond who are still involved in our program. Other Fellows choose to go to graduate school, begin pursuing other careers, or even join the seminary after their two years of teaching!
You are employed by your school, not the Fellowship. In other words, you will receive your official salary and benefits from the school that you are working at.
More than 90% of Fellows live with at least one other Fellow; these houses, apartments, and re-purposed rectories serve as deep sources of community and hubs of fellowship support.
The Fellowship provides a community of faithful young adults that allows fellows to grow in numerous ways. Fellows live with one another, share meals, and help each other grow as both teachers and saints. This community serves as a crucial space in post-college transition and young adult life.
This includes practicals like lesson planning and classroom management, but also spiritual formation to prepare the heart for mission in the classroom.
No matter what city you’re in, it’s our desire that you would be able to find Catholic community even beyond the Fellowship. We utilize our connections to help plug you into those circles; many of our Fellows live in housing that contains not only other Fellows, but also other Catholic young adults in the area.
Fellows spend at least 2 years serving as teachers in their respective diocese.
During your 5 weeks of summer training, housing is covered completely by the Fellowship. After that, Fellows are responsible for finding/paying for their own housing. Roommate groups tend to form based on natural friendships and what makes geographical sense.

No. While both of those things can be helpful as you enter into the program, neither are required. Most of our fellows did not have formal teacher training/experience when they began the program. We provide training through our New Teacher Academy.
