APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED!!
The Vision Mentor Application deadline has been extended to Friday, October 28th at 5PM. The application and interview process will continue through October and November, with positions finalized by mid-November.
Each summer, about sixty students serve in the Notre Dame Vision program as Mentors-in-Faith. Typically, forty-four of these students are Small Group Mentors (who facilitate small group discussions and serve as dorm counselors), and sixteen are Music Mentors (who lead all music for the program in both liturgical and non-liturgical settings, including the performance of three short musicals).
How to Apply
Apply to become a Mentor-in-Faith by completing an application and signing up for an interview below. (Applicants to be Music Mentors must also sign up for an audition.):
