Church and Society’s internships are designed for people interested in educating, advocating and connecting in the intersection of faith and social justice.
The Ethnic Young Adult (EYA) internship program is designed for young justice seekers wanting to unpack their faith and identity and develop a deeper understanding of justice. Interns gain professional experience by serving with a placement organization (network partner of Church and Society) to address social injustices. These partner organizations do advocacy, public policy, nonprofit and grassroots organizing. EYAs work with their placement organization four days a week.
EYAs engage in weekly seminars and devotions. These sessions are designed to explore various topics related to Church & Society’s mission, vision, and ongoing efforts. Interns are also introduced to concepts of justice, spiritual practices, and learn from advocates and faith leaders.
This is a unique opportunity to participate in national advocacy and public witness as participants put their faith in action.
