Continuing Support
Indicorps actively supports its fellows throughout the fellowship year. Indicorps staff members take personal interest in each fellow’s project and individual growth. From the first day of orientation, Indicorps challenges each fellow to push their own limits and to take responsibility for their community’s progress. In conjunction with the local partner organization, Indicorps provides field level resources and guidance where necessary.
Indicorps’s documentation enables additional support from staff and alumni. Through weekly phone calls, bi-weekly reports and updated project plans, Indicorps staff and partner organizations monitor progress and assist fellows in meeting their own personal and project objectives.
Periodic workshops are part of Indicorps’ continuing education and support structure. A continuation from orientation, Indicorps’ periodic workshops help build fellows’ knowledge base and perspective, while also giving them an opportunity to relax and re-energize.
Fellows are supervised and in constant contact with their local partner organizations during implementation of their projects. Our partners are immediate supervisors of the fellows’ projects. In addition, Indicorps field representatives visit fellows periodically during the year. Field visits provide moral and logistical support, allow Indicorps to mobilize relevant resources, and provide a chance for Indicorps to work one-on-one with each fellow to assess his/her own progress.
