Become a Leader Who Makes a Difference
The Titan of Life Institute is seeking motivated undergraduate and graduate students who are passionate about leadership, behavioral health, education, research, community engagement, and service. This unique fellowship provides students with meaningful real-world experience while allowing them to contribute to initiatives that improve lives and prepare the next generation of purpose-driven leaders.

Unlike a traditional internship, the Titan of Life Student Fellow serves as a consultant, collaborator, researcher, and emerging leader. Fellows work alongside nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, community partners, and experienced professionals to advance initiatives centered on the Four Pillars of Leadership: Professional, Respectful, Fair, and Service.

Whether you are pursuing a degree in healthcare, behavioral health, psychology, counseling, social work, public health, education, business, communications, nonprofit leadership, public administration, ministry, artificial intelligence, computer science, data analytics, or another discipline, this fellowship offers meaningful opportunities to apply your education while developing professional experience that distinguishes you in today's workforce.

Three Participation Pathways

"My mom made the sacrifice," Mr. Burks writes in Titan of Life, his autobiography, published this year by Melvin L. Burks Publishing LLC. "Looking back on what she had to do for some things, it tears at my heart." The sacrifice was quotidian and total. She kept the family housed. She kept them fed with potatoes and rice and chicken and, memorably, lima beans, the remains of which her son declined to finish on the grounds that the sauce had congealed. ("That stuff is not any good cold," he writes. "So, I ate what I needed. I ate.") She told her children, regularly and without sentimentality, that what they had in front of them might not be what they wanted but was what they needed. She told them they had value. She told them in the specific vocabulary of a woman who has very little and is determined that her children will understand they are not nothing that they were important.
