Service Corps Reflections

Alumni Spotlight – Anne Dunbar Johnson

February 3, 2020 · Andrew Hudgins

Greetings! It has been ten years since my time as a “JIP-ster” with the Johnson Service Corps (then JIP-Johnson Intern Program). I have fond memories of my intentional living adventure with Jessica, Matt, Tricia, Hannes, Amanda, Will and Christy in our home on Elliott Road. Outside of my work placement, that year was filled with family dinners, silent […]

Watty Bowes Society

February 3, 2020 · Andrew Hudgins

Last week we held our annual Watty Bowes Society reception. Named after Watty Bowes, a long time supporter of our program, the Society consists of JSC’s leading donors and supporters. During the reception current corps member Reid Russom offered the following reflection on his time in the program thus far. When people ask me what […]

Alumni Spotlight – Matthew Wright

December 20, 2019 · Andrew Hudgins

My name is Matthew Wright; I’m a 2007-2008 Johnson Intern Program (now JSC) alum. The program came into my life as a possibility my senior year of undergrad at UNC, when I realized I needed space for discernment before dashing off to “what’s next.” I also wanted an experience that would ground me in “the real […]

Alumni Spotlight- Eli Gemora

November 25, 2019 · Andrew Hudgins

Hello! I’m Emmanuel (Eli) Gemora and I served with JSC from 2017-2018. I was part of the Carrboro House and worked at Compass Center. I now live in a household that values intentional community and work as a special education teacher in Oregon.  Entering JSC, I was looking for a gap year where I could […]

Alumni Spotlight – Emily Gao

October 30, 2019 · Andrew Hudgins

My name is Emily, and I’m a 2013-2014 member of JSC.  My placement program was Project Access of Durham County—a non-profit that coordinates healthcare for uninsured patients. After the program, I started medical school, and am currently finishing my final year. JSC helped confirm my decision to pursue medicine and also introduced me to several concepts […]

Alumni Spotlight — Kirsten Chang

September 30, 2019 · Aleta Payne

Kirsten Chang served with the 2017-2018 JSC cohort. I was at a JSC mixer event recently, and someone asked me, “What did you learn during your time as a Corps Member?” It was hard for me to answer. How do you distill a year’s worth of incredibly transformative experiences into a soundbite at a party? […]

Meet Bryar

September 29, 2019 · Aleta Payne

Together we sit in a circle silently gazing at photographs strewn across the floor while the afternoon sunlight lazily filters in through the windows lining the opposite side of the room. There is an ease to the air, as if the silence has given permission to the day’s earlier movement, chaos, and conversation to take […]

New ESC Video — Take a Look!

September 19, 2019 · Aleta Payne

~You can be you in community but also create something beautiful with other people~ The new Episcopal Service Corps video is up, and it is awesome.

Alumni Spotlight — Michael Mullarkey

September 4, 2019 · Aleta Payne

My name is Michael Mullarkey, and I’m an alum from 2013-2014, back when JSC was JIP! I still remember one of my JSC interviewers asking me why I wanted to join the program. I had been out of college for a couple of years, sat at a lot of tension-filled kitchen tables as an intensive […]

Alumni Spotlight — Elizabeth Brewington

July 1, 2019 · Aleta Payne

My name is Elizabeth Brewington (or Eliz the Woo Brew as I was called during my time at JSC). I served in Johnson Service Corp in 2017-2018 and lived in the Durham house (also known as the Durham Dames). My partner organization was the East Durham Children’s Initiative.  During my time at EDCI, I help run their Youth […]
