Shameless plug!

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. :)
