About Sojourners Fellowship Program
The Sojourners Fellowship Program is dedicated to Christian discipleship, community, and professional development. Participants live together in a shared home and build relationships with one another as an intentional Christian community. Each fellow is assigned a work placement in a departmental team at the Sojourners office in Washington, D.C. The program offers a holistic experience, enabling participants to acquire both relational skills and vocational or job-related skills that are applicable to many future endeavors.
