FELLOWS
Enjoy Life’s advanced teen leaders.
Fellows create the Magic.
Fellows are our version of CITs, bridging the gap between experiencing Enjoy Life as a student and leading as a staff member. This is the pinnacle of the Enjoy Life Academy experience, offering invaluable leadership, mentorship, and real-world skills for teens stepping into college or career.
Two ways to become a Fellow:
You have completed the Academy twice.
You have completed the Academy once but are a high school graduate.
The Fellow Experience
-
Learn from an Expert
The Fellow team is run by Lauren Dunne, a corporate Director who specializes in leading and organizing global teen events and delivering teen leadership education. Fellows are trained by a professional and receive a professional training experience.
-
Become Leadership Certified
Upon completion of their Academy experience, Fellows receive a Leadership Certification from Enjoy Life Education, Inc. that represents their commitment to growth and success. This certificate is great on a resume and gives the Fellow the courage to crush whatever they do in college and career!
-
Empower the next generation.
Fellows arrive early to the Academy, receive specialized training, and get to empower and mentor First & Second Years. Fellows judge Squad Challenges, start the dance parties, build the high five tunnels, and be all-out supporters of our new teens.
“When I become an Enjoy Life Fellow, I became a leader. This experience was the best of all my years at Enjoy Life.”
“I helped First Years who were overwhlemed and it’s true that giving others the experience is so much more fulfilling than receiving it.”
