Community Organizing Residency
The Poverty Initiative at Union Theological Seminary has teamed up with Jewish Funds for Justice (JFSJ), American Muslim Civic Leadership Institute (AMCLI) and Jewish Organizing Initiative (JOI) on an exciting new project called the Community Organizing Residency (COR). COR is a six-month, paid residency for people from different faith backgrounds who want to make a career commitment to social justice and community organizing rooted in faith. Residents gain social justice experience working with leading organizing groups in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Residencies will begin July 29, 2010 and end Feb 2, 2011. Residents will receive a $17,000 stipend and healthcare benefits. Applications are due by April 2, 2010.
We hope that members of the broader Poverty Initiative family spread the word and apply to be a part of this unique opportunity.
