Follow the Call to Leadership, Faith and Justice

The Waters Internship creates opportunities for students to live out their faith and justice commitments on campus. Teams of interns work in five different areas: design and outreach, faith Justice, interfaith, liturgies, and retreats and vocation. These students work collaboratively and creatively while reflecting deeply and consistently on the call to leadership and ministry.
