The Road Episcopal Service Corps is now accepting applications for the 2017-2018 service year. The Road offers young adults the opportunity to make connections between faith and social change, commit to community and simplicity, and grow in capacity for compassionate, courageous, and imaginative leadership. Road fellows work 32 hours per week in non-profits addressing issues around homelessness, unemployment, education, immigration, addiction, refugee resettlement, the environment and much more. The Road offers young adults the opportunity to put their beliefs into action having an impact on Peoplestown, the local community in which they live and the greater metropolitan Atlanta community. One day a week is devoted to spiritual discernment and reflection, leadership development, and community action in the neighborhoods of urban Atlanta.
Road fellows receive a monthly stipend. In addition room and board, health insurance (if needed) as well as public transportation to and from worksites, is also provided at no cost to the Road fellow.
