Over the past 16 years the Trinity Fellows Program has been an integral part of the fabric of Trinity Presbyterian Church and has served our church congregation and the broader Charlottesville community in many ways.

As is the case every summer, we need to find part-time jobs for each of our 16 Trinity Fellows. The part-time job is for 24 hours per week—8-hour days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each week. If their presence is needed at work on a Thursday or Friday (so as to meet a deadline, meet a client, or give a presentation) then they can occasionally miss their academic seminars and classes to meet such a workplace obligation.

The Fellows internship starts in late August 2019 and goes through mid/late May 2020, as it follows the UVA academic calendar. The pay rate is about $15 an hour with certain people making more based on their highly specialized training (e.g., software development, accounting, IT skills, etc.).

We also need host families who feel led to have a Fellow be part of their family. We are asking folks to please consider playing a role in helping a recent college graduate find their way in this world in their post-college journey of figuring out faith, work, the local church, and how to “Start Well” upon graduating from college. Would you consider encouraging the relationships between your family and this group of young men and women in this way? Please see the below testimony from a Host Family:

For many years I have helped Dennis Doran in his role as director of the Fellows Program to find host families. I fell in love with this program after our family hosted a Fellow. I had no idea when I first signed on what a wonderful, POSITIVE impact these young people would have on my kids, our home, our marriage, our faith, our places of work, and our lives! If you would like more information, please contact Dennis Doran at 434.825.9866 or dennis.doran@trinitycville.org.
