Are you a passionate storyteller looking to expand your gifts for the glory of God? Christianity Today (CT) is offering its first ever NextGen Accelerator program for young creatives like you!

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

This 6-month experience will begin in August 2024 and conclude in February 2025. Participants will engage in two 4-day in-person immersions at the start and conclusion of the program with bi-monthly virtual meetings throughout. All travel costs are included, along with a program stipend.

The program revolves around four focal points:

By the conclusion of the experience, fellows will be exposed to mentorship, dialogue, research, and problem solving to better serve within their current contexts or prepare them for vibrant careers as part of any storytelling environment. CT will also benefit from the proximity to talented storytellers for future engagement.
