The Beatitudes Society Summer Fellowship program sponsors seminary students to work as interns at select organizations where faith, public life and public policy intersect.
Beatitudes Society Fellowships:
- Expand your experience in ministry
- Engage in praxis and reflection with peers
- Develop your skills to effectively engage media
- Serve God in the world
- Equip you to change the world
About The Summer Fellowships
- The Program: The Beatitudes Society sponsors Fellows to work as interns at social change organizations. Fellows serve at a site in one of the clusters: San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Atlanta, or DC. There will be other Beatitudes Fellows in your cluster city.
- 2011 Dates: June 6 - July 29. Updated position descriptions for Summer 2011 will be available in Fall 2010.
- Eligibility: Anyone in seminary is eligible to apply - even those graduating before the Fellowships begin. Applicants must be Student Members of The Beatitudes Society and must be enrolled in seminary or divinity school to apply. Join online here - it's FREE. (If you've ever joined before, you're eligible.)
- Weekly Meetings: All Fellows attend a Weekly Meeting with their group mentor, following a small group study exploring the links between social change advocacy, Progressive Christianity and spiritual practice. The Weekly Meetings provide a place for sharing concerns, theological reflection and synthesis of the internship work experience.
- Auburn Media Training: All Fellows participate in a 1-day Auburn Media Training Workshop, a tailored training program to prepare religious leaders and laypeople for communicating effectively with the media.
Logistics
- Fellows will receive a $3,000 stipend from The Beatitudes Society to help cover travel, housing, and living expenses.
