Applying to Vision
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.):
- Complete the Online Application (required for both Small Group & Music Mentor candidates)
-
Interview/Audition Signup (required for both Small Group & Music Mentor candidates)
If you are abroad, please email Craig Gould (cgould2@nd.edu) to set-up a virtual interview.
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 2027. Please send questions to the Notre Dame Vision office at ndvi@nd.edu or call (574) 631-7425.
