Apply to be a Mentor-in-Faith

APPLICATION DEADLINE 

The Vision Mentor Application deadline will close on Monday, October 23rd at 5:00 p.m. The application and interview process will continue through October and November, with positions finalized by mid-November. See our timeline below for exact dates.

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.):

If you are applying to be considered for both the Small Group Mentor and Music Mentor positions, please complete only one application and sign up for both an interview and an audition.

Complete information on the application process, program benefits, and mentor roles, responsibilities, and formation is available in the Vision Mentor Application Guide 2024. Please send questions to the Notre Dame Vision office at ndvi@nd.edu or call (574) 631-7425.

All applications are due Monday October 23, 2022 at 5 p.m. If you need to request an extension, please contact Craig Gould at cgould2@nd.edu. (Please note: Extensions are granted rarely and only for exceptional circumstances.)

Master Mentors

If you have previously served as a Mentor-in-faith for Notre Dame Vision, you are welcome to apply to serve as a Master Mentor. To be considered for this role, please complete the Master Mentor Application. After you submit the application, we will contact you to set up an individual interview.
