Veterans Farm Fellowship

Veterans interested in working at the Veterans Farm in Jacksonville, Fl can apply for a fellowship at the Mission Continues

The Mission Continues Fellowship Program is the flagship project of the Center for Citizen Leadership. They award service Fellowships to wounded and disabled veterans for volunteer service in their communities.  Their goal is to provide service opportunities to wounded veterans who still have the desire to serve their country but whose disabilities prevent them from continuing to serve in the military. 

Fellowship Structure

An average Fellowship covers 6 months, during which the Fellow volunteers 20hrs per week at the Veterans Farm.  The Fellowship is funded through grants and donations, and each Mission Continues Fellow is awarded a monetary grant to enable the Fellow to offset cost-of-living expenses while he or she volunteers. We have created a competitive Fellowship that allows us to select the best and the brightest wounded and disabled veterans to serve in their communities.
