Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

The Ethnic Young Adult (EYA) program is for young justice seekers willing to unpack their faith and identity and develop a deeper understanding of justice. Interns gain professional experience by serving with a placement organization (network partner of Church and Society) to address social injustices. These partner organizations do advocacy, public policy, nonprofit and grassroots organizing. EYAs work with their placement organization four days a week.
EYAs engage in weekly seminars & devotions. These sessions are designed to explore various topics related to Church & Society’s mission, vision, and ongoing efforts. Interns are also introduced to concepts of justice, spiritual practices, and learn from advocates and faith leaders.
Interns in this cohort are provided dorm-style housing at the United Methodist Building directly across from the U.S. Capitol. Interns live in an intentional community with members of our worldwide UMC connection.
This is a unique opportunity to participate in national advocacy and public witness as participants put their faith in action.
