EPF is looking for young adults who have had some urban ministry or social services experience to
lead five-day spring break service learning projects in the New York area in March each year. (Other leadership training events are being scheduled for cities around the U.S). Through service to and solidarity with people on the margins of society, Pilgrimage participants are challenged to reflect on love of God and neighbor and grow in an understanding of social justice as a spiritual practice. Each Pilgrimage is designed to provoke reflection and action on issues as varied as homelessness, educational inequity, immigration, food production and environmental stewardship, and disaster response while giving participants tools to begin seeing themselves as agents of change in their home communities.
