Servant Year Member

Posted by Episcopal Service Corps on May 29, 2017

Servant Year, a program of the Episcopal Service Corps, has full time paid volunteer position openings for young adults interested in a year of service. Think of it as an urban missionary experience for someone with a desire to discern a deeper sense of purpose in their life. A willingness to live simply, intentionally, and to compassionately serve others is the mainstay of Servant Year. Located in Philadelphia, the city of “brotherly love and sisterly affection”, members live together in intentional Christian Community and serve at churches, schools and community non-profits. It’s a unique opportunity for young adults to give of themselves by living out their faith while exploring new places and gaining work experience. Monthly stipends are provided in addition to other benefits including housing, meals, public transportation tokens, support services and health insurance. These positions are for new college graduates from diverse backgrounds, interested in community service, intentional community, spiritual and theological reflection and vocational discernment.

The program starts August 19 and runs through July 31, 2018. Contact Jan Schroeder, Program Director for additional information at jans@diopa.org or by phone at 215-621-8315.
