Seton Teaching Fellows

ege degree, pursue lives of value and integrity, and become saints. Fellows work as classroom teachers or support staff at Brilla Public Charter Schools and El Camino extended-day Catholic faith formation programs to serve disadvantaged children in the South Bronx who do not have the means to attend a Catholic school. Fellows participate in an intensive service experience encompassing three programmatic pillars: faith, community, and education. In this way, fellows, who are young, passionate, college-educated adults, have the unique opportunity to be at the forefront of this groundbreaking project to serve some of our nation’s poorest students in an unprecedented way, sharing their own gifts and talents as they teach their students’ hands, hearts, and minds. Seton Teaching Fellows are committed to service, professional development, and a simple lifestyle in a supportive, spiritually-nourishing community. Together, the fellows impact the academic and faith development of underserved children in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx, New York, the poorest congressional district in America.
