Sojourners is a connecting point for Christians nationally and internationally. We examine pressing moral, political, social, and economic issues in a spiritual, theological, and action-oriented context. We encourage people to think about the gospel implications of the issues society faces and, by bringing them to light in the context of faith, to set forth and encourage a vision for the future that is just and sustainable for the earth and its people. Lectionary reflections and columns nurture spiritual growth; editorials provide political analysis; and book, film, and music reviews critique popular culture.

Sojourners magazine also serves as a tool for national and grassroots organizing and public witness. We work to help people integrate personal and social transformation, spirituality and politics, prayer and peacemaking, the church and the world, and the prophetic tradition and the public arena.

Who can be a Sojourners Intern?

Sojourners Internship Program is open to anyone 21 years or older who is single or married without dependents. We seek each year to have as much age, gender, class, race, and denominational diversity as possible. Sojourners interns provide new energy, enthusiasm, and vitality to our life together. You must be:

• prepared to participate enthusiastically in issues and activities of Sojourners;
• expecting to share a household where simple living is affirmed and caring relationships are nurtured;
• eager to face the blessings and challenges of new cultural and class settings and of different perceptions and outlooks;
• aware that learning from others is perhaps the best way to work alongside and accompany them.

A year with Sojourners

Room, board, health insurance, city transportation, and a $100 monthly stipend for clothing, travel, and recreation are provided. Sojourners interns commit themselves to one year of service, starting in early September and ending in mid-August the following year. We hope that our internship program will be a life-changing experience and that growth during the year will influence interns' future work and life choices.

Program Dates: August 30, 2011 - August 17, 2012
