All Saints’ Atlanta Program is another means by which we seek to respond to God’s call to heal a broken world. ASAP is a year-long post-college internship program for young adults interested in issues of social justice and vocational discernment especially in an urban environment.
Interns will work 35 hours a week in their social service worksite placements and will also spend another 5 hours per week in the All Saints’ community in youth and children’s ministries, adult formation, parish life and worship.
Interns are asked to participate in the life of All Saints’ parish in order to develop a deeper connection to our parish and help our parish connect to them and their work as well.
Interns will share common housing and live in intentional Christian community in a property near both the parish and public transportation. The program directors will guide the interns through spiritual discernment, developing a common rule of life and will lead a series of vocation workshops as a part of the spiritual growth component of the program.
ASAP interns are college graduates who are willing to make a one-year commitment to social service, Christian community, spiritual formation, and vocational discernment. Applicants should be between the ages of 21 and 26, hold a driver’s license and be able to offer letters of reference. They must be in good physical and mental health.
ASAP provides housing, health insurance, and assistance with transportation. Interns receive a monthly stipend to pay for food and personal expenses. The intern year begins the last week of August and runs through July 15th of the following year.
