The Desmond Tutu Center has two unique fellowship opportunities, the Youth Fellows Initiative, designed for Indiana youth ages 16-21, and the Tutu Fellows, for faculty and students of Christian Theological Seminary and Butler University.
Youth Fellows
At the heart of the DTC is a simple, bold idea: to identify, train, sustain, and connect the next generation of emerging young leaders struggling for social justice and reconciliation around the world and right here in Indiana. In 2013, the Desmond Tutu Center received a gift from the Herbert Simon Family Foundation, allowing the Center to launch its Youth Fellows Initiative, an empowerment program for young emerging leaders from Central Indiana and South Africa.

Tutu Fellows
At the core of DTC programming is an objective to initiate and encourage vigorous scholarly engagement through research and exchange with individuals, institutions and networks. The Tutu Fellows program supports the training of researchers at Butler University and Christian Theological Seminary, many of whom are uniquely poised to make discoveries in global justice issues. Each Tutu Fellow applicant provides a research based project summary, statement of alignment to the mission of the DTC, statement of significance of the project, timeline for conducting the project, metrics for gathering data and measuring success, as well as plans for disseminating the results.
