The Sojourners’ Fellowship Program is a leadership development program dedicated to Christian discipleship, community, and vocation. Celebrating its 35-year history, program alumni have made a lasting impact on the social justice movement in the church, the United States, and around the world.
Eight to ten participants are selected into the program each year. People from all life stages and career paths are welcome. The program is designed to be a holistic experience focused on the following:

• Life and Faith: Fellows live together in Washington, D.C., and experience life as an intentional Christian community: sharing meals, a common budget, weekly house meetings, and prayer.

• Prayer and Discipleship: Fellows participate in weekly faith and justice seminars, monthly chapel services with colleagues, and three community retreats.

• Work and Vocation: Fellows work full-time in the ministry of Sojourners. Each participant is placed in an entry-level position and is paired with a professional mentor.
