Julian Year

The Julian Year is a community of young adults living together in simplicity and intentional community, serving in public ministries or congregations, seeking to grow and develop their personal spiritual lives, their public lives and their leadership identities.

“Julians,” as the participants are called, live in the space where the spiritual life overlaps with the needs of the world through intentional community and simple living at home, meaningful work at an internship site with or on behalf of those in need, spiritual development both in community as well as individually, and pubic life formation.  This yearlong experience promotes inward and outward growth of its participants and develops leaders for the world and for the church. 

Consider Becoming a Julian

Check back here to see when to apply as a candidate for the second year of The Julian Year.  Applications again will be accepted through the Episcopal Service Corps.

While the program is distinctly Episcopalian, participants from any or no faith traditions with respect for the Anglican tradition are welcome.  Four days a week, Julians will intern at a community organization.  One day a week will be spent on professional and spiritual development.  Applicants with more questions are encouraged to read  the Episcopal Service Corps The Julian Year program Description and FAQs.
