Your year in the Johnson Service Corps is an opportunity to grow personally, professionally and spiritually through a well-supported mix of social justice work, leadership training, participation in a faith community, and living in intentional community. You’ll be part of North Carolina communities with a rich history of social justice. You’ll serve at nonprofits who continue these traditions, gaining skills and experience that you can use no matter your future path. Our placements offer experience in areas like policy development and implementation, direct service to marginalized women and families or the homeless, or rural agriculture cooperatives. You will live in a house with four to six corps members; together you will cook, share, clean, pray, and handle conflict. Corps members participate in weekly leadership training and in a faith community of their choice. All corps members are supported with a network of relationships that includes peers, mentors, therapists, and other partners.
