The Episcopal Urban Intern Program, founded in 1991, recruits young adults from across the country to work full-time in community service agencies, live together in Christian community, and develop their spiritual lives. The program is designed for those in vocational discernment, both lay and ordained, for those seeking to give a year of service to others, and for those seeking community work experience with a Christian perspective.  The program is housed at Holy Faith Episcopal Church, a tri-lingual, multicultural congregation in Los Angeles.  The application deadline is April 15.
