Sojourners Fellowship

https://bates.joinhandshake.com/edu/jobs/5707767


The Sojourners Fellowship Program is a leadership and professional development program dedicated to Christian discipleship, community, and vocation. Participants live together in a shared Christian household and work alongside a departmental team at the Sojourners office in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Throughout the program's 40-year history, its alumni have made a lasting impact on the social justice movement in the church, the United States, and around the world. 

Up to six participants will be selected into the program, which runs from August 14, 2023 to August 2, 2024.  
We are recruiting fellows for these areas:
Editorial (2)
Advancement
Circulation and Administration
Mobilizing and Policy
Communications and Social Media

The program is designed to be a holistic experience focused on the following: 

• Life and Faith: Fellows live together in Washington, D.C. and experience life together: sharing meals, a common budget, house governance meetings, and worship. 
• Prayer and Discipleship: Fellows participate in weekly faith and justice seminars during work hours, organizational chapel services with colleagues, and fellowship retreats. 
• Work and Vocation: Fellows work full-time in the ministry of Sojourners. Each participant is placed in an entry-level position in one of our departments and is paired with a mentor. Part of the vocational discernment process involves calling. Fellows will wrestle with God’s calling upon their lives during this year. 

Benefits and Compensation: 

• Housing provided with private bedroom 
• All living expenses provided (food, local transportation) 
• Health Insurance 
• Monthly stipend $700  
• 20 days of vacation, up to 12 days for sick/personal leave, and 12 holidays

The program is open to anyone 21 years or older who has work permission in the United States and a Social Security number. Married couples without dependents are welcome, but both individuals must apply and be accepted into the program. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity. Sojourners welcomes people from all Christian faith traditions and accepts applicants from all racial, ethnic, gender, and sexual identities.
