Sponsored by the United Methodist Inter-Ethnic Strategy Development Group and administered by the General Board of Church & Society, interns will work in social justice placements in the U.S. capital from May 30 to July 31, 2010.

 

The Inter-Ethnic Strategy Development Group is a coalition of the denomination’s five racial/ethnic minority caucuses: Black Methodists for Church Renewal, Methodists Associated Representing the Cause of Hispanic Americans, the Native American International Caucus, the National Federation of Asian American United Methodists, and the Pacific Islander National Caucus of United Methodists.

 

Interns will live in Christian community. Work placements will be supplemented by evening intern-led devotions, Friday seminars on topics of social justice concern, area field trips and Sunday worship in area United Methodist churches. Participants must commit to participating in these activities.

 

Applicants must be in good academic standing, demonstrate evidence of concern for social justice through extracurricular activity, academic study and have some history of involvement in their church and/or community.
