The Pittsburgh Fellows program is a nine-month (September - May), post-graduate, leadership development/ paid internship program designed to introduce bright, diverse and industrious young Christian men and women to the corporate, entrepreneurial and non-profit arenas of Pittsburgh. The goal of the program is to form future leaders who have fully integrated their faith with their vocational calling. Our commitment is to funnel 80% of Pittsburgh Fellows into the corporate/entrepreneurial sector of our city and the other 20% into the ministry/ non-profit sector. We are excited by this challenge.

Each Fellow works Monday through Thursday in a challenging professional assignment, then joins other Fellows in accredited graduate level Leadership Formation
and Christian Studies courses on Friday. The Pittsburgh Fellows program offers top college graduates the opportunity to launch their careers and build real professional skills, while also developing as ethical leaders of character in the workplace and community.

  • 4 day work placement in companies and firms in Pittsburgh
