Young adults ages 20-30 engage in a three-year program of leadership development, divided between an international assignment and an assignment in the intern's home country, based on the understanding that work for social justice is fundamental to the living out of their faith. The program encourages young adults to learn from communities of faith and to connect that understanding to a community in the intern's home context. Participants work as grassroots organizers and/or advocates in areas of conflict resolution, peace with justice education, environmental preservation, economic development, indigenous rights, women's and children's issues, and more.
