Johnson Service Corps
Durham Nonprofit Fellowship

Johnson Service Corps is a 10.5 month program for young adults, ages 21 to 28, to live together in intentional community, explore justice work, and engage in spiritual and personal growth in Durham, NC.

Justice Work

Fellows work 32 hours weekly at the non-profit organization they are matched with. Types of service can include: Congregation-based ministry, Community organizing, Education, Food justice, Homelessness and Housing insecurity, LGBTQIA+ support, Racial reconciliation, Women’s empowerment, Youth-based services, and Public policy/advocacy, among other things

Beloved Community Living

Fellows live together in a shared home of 6 people. The household shares three weekly meals, a weekly house meeting, daily fellow-led spiritual practice, as well as other community responsibilities.

Spiritual Practice

We are rooted in the teachings of Jesus and founded by the Episcopal Church, but welcome people of all spiritual traditions and those new to exploring spirituality. Fellows commit to weekly attendance with a spiritual community of their choice and must be open to exploring both Christian and interfaith traditions.

Leadership Development

Fellows grow their character, moral leadership, compassion, and inner strengths. They participate one day a week in trainings and workshops on a wide range of topics. They are also paired with a mentor for the program year, who offers additional support.

Serving with JSC is an opportunity to dedicate yourself to justice work and spiritual growth. It is a time to reflect, pray, and discern your unique calling in the world, all within an intentional community and multiple circles of support.
