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.
