Episcopal Service Corps (ESC)
Goal of Program
Leadership An ESC Year is not just another internship. Through placements like those listed above, our Corps members can apply their passion, talent, and creativity in meaningful placements dedicated to building a just society while also honing their professional skills to prepare for whatever is next. Community Building Young adults serving through ESC come from all over the world and all walks of life. What they have in common is their commitment to making a difference. For ESC, living together in intentional community means that Corps members commit to a year of growing, laughing, crying, playing, and supporting one another whether doing the dishes, in weekly house meetings, or on retreat. Personal Growth Every Corps member is surrounded by mentors and leaders dedicated to providing opportunities for Corps members to deepen their spirituality and learn to live into their values. In addition, joining ESC means that we take care of basic living expenses so our Corps can focus on transformation.
