Be Paired with Davenport Fellows

We are seeking families interested in being paired with a pair of Davenport Fellows at Conference. The child or young adult with CHARGE syndrome must be attending camp.

The Davenport Fellowship program is a prestigious program that brings early career professionals to the International CHARGE Syndrome Conferences, where they have the opportunity to learn more about CHARGE syndrome, interact with one another and get to know individuals with CHARGE syndrome and their families.

“This is such a valuable training experience for fellows! I was a fellow in 2019 and then went on to join the board of directors in 2022. I now lead the fellowship program, and fellows consistently say that being paired with families is one of their favorite parts of the program. Many fellows stay in touch with their family match for years after Conference. Please consider applying!!” -Lily Slavin
