With our next application deadline approaching on January 15th, and with there being many questions surrounding the work aspect of fellows, this month we are highlighting employment within our program!
On their applications, the fellows indicate the type of work/career that would suit their gifts, majors, and desires best, and we connect them with an employer-partner that would appear to be the best fit.
Mariel Kondas is employed with Pierce McCoy, a legal firm in downtown Norfolk, and she shared with us what her position entails as Special Projects Assistant:
“I’m on the administrative team doing things like credit card authorizations, social media, updating their websites, and helping input some new software to streamline their attorney-client paperwork. I’m also starting a nonprofit for/through PM that will provide free legal services to nonprofits and select faith-based organizations. So I have been doing a lot of work in the formation of that, including the business, marketing, and financial plans, social media, promotion, and now helping with some client needs!”
The rest of this month we will highlight other fellows, and if you have any questions regarding employment through our program, send us a message!
