As a CAFO Student Fellow, you will have the unique opportunity to learn, grow, and explore your calling with other students and professionals who share your heart to care for the most vulnerable.

• Fall 2025, October 1-3, 2025: CAFO2025 Houston, Texas
• Spring 2026, January-May: Enrollment in OVC Essentials for Students
CAFO2025 Summit
We invite all students to join us in person at the CAFO2025 Summit in Houston, Texas.
OVC Essentials for Students
This multi-dimensional online course contains five monthly modules. The commitment for each module is about four hours per month and will consist of one video call and content to read, watch, or listen to.
As an investment in college students and their bright futures, all accepted students into the Student Fellowship will receive a scholarship covering all registration costs for the CAFO Summit.* Students will also receive a full scholarship covering the cost of the Student Fellowship OVC Essentials course.
Upon completing the full Student Fellowship program, students will be invited to serve in a volunteer capacity as part of the CAFO2026 Summit Team (location TBD).
(This is an optional opportunity reserved for Student Fellowship graduates.) Registration costs will be covered, and you will be gifted a $250 travel stipend.
*We understand that not every student will be able to travel to Summit. While attendance is required to receive a Student Fellowship Certificate of Completion, participation in Summit is not mandatory in order to be a part of the program.
Deadline to apply is August 31, 2025
