Sojo Cycle 30 (as we call ourselves) is approaching our
six-month-iversary! On March 3, we’ll hit the halfway mark. It’s amazing – only
seven months ago we all had no clue what it was like to live with each other.
Oh how quickly things change!
It blew my mind to
hear that applications are already pouring in for the next round of interns,
Cycle 31. But now that I’m a veteran of nearly half a year, I suppose it is
time to start thinking forward, and with that being the case, it’s probably a
good time for me to chime in on the whole application thing.
If you’re thinking about it, do it. You
cannot surround yourself with better people.
You cannot find an internship that more highly values your hard work and input
and that is anxious to see you develop as a whole person. Surrounded by
community, you find challenge right alongside encouragement and know that you
have faithful companions walking beside you on the journey. This is a place
that opens doors, that forms connections, that presents myriad opportunities
you didn’t even know you could have. To be a part of the work of articulating
the biblical call to social justice is incredible. You never, ever stop
learning. And hey, you get to be in Washington, DC for a year, which makes it
even cooler!
So apply, if you are even vaguely considering
the possibility of coming here next year. It’s worth the long application, I
promise! At the very least, you may get to correspond with Karen and/or
Elizabeth, both of them marvelous people whom I admire greatly.
Click here to access the
application and more information, and of course, you can get in touch with me
if you want to know anything more firsthand about the internship (A small
aside: CTS-ers and other seminarians, you can get SM credit for this.). You can
find more input from other Cycle 30 interns here.
The deadline is March
1.
You could be as happy as these people. :)
