BE THE CHANGE

Episcopal Service Corps empowers adults 21-32 to transform unjust structures through community building, local collaboration, prayer, and action. Our values:

Transformation

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

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.

Empowerment

Throughout the year, every Corps member is surrounded by mentors and leaders dedicated to providing opportunities for Corps members to dig deep into issues that matter to them, empowering them to do their part to address and change unjust structures. Joining ESC means that we take care of basic living expenses so our Corps can focus on transformation. Every ESC Corps member receives housing and utilities, insurance coverage, as well as stipends for food, living expenses, and transportation.

Faithfulness

We embrace the opportunity to explore our spiritual journey. Our programs range from those that are centered on Christian practices rooted in the Episcopal tradition to those that are intentionally interreligious. Every year we welcome a diverse Corps from a variety of religious backgrounds all of whom share one common goal - exploring our spiritual connectedness and embodiment as a regular aspect of our common life.

"I've learned that there are so many ways of showing God's love to others. I've learned how valuable listening can be in building community, and I also feel more grounded in my own faith." -- Erin, Deaconess Anne House, 2021-22

We acknowledge that ESC and our network of programs occupy the traditional, sacred, and unceded homelands of Indigenous peoples colonized by the United States. We strive to be part of a movement of decolonization, restitution, and reconciliation. Read more about territory acknowledgements.
