Lewis Fellows Program Continues in 2008

The Lewis Center is currently receiving applications from young clergy persons interested in being considered for the 2008 cohorts of Lewis Fellows. The Lewis Fellows program is a post-graduate, post-ordination leadership development opportunity for young clergy - normally those under the age of 35 that have completed their ordination processes. The program is offered by the Lewis Center through a grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. Because there are many more qualified young clergy than can be accommodated in any one year, participants are selected in a manner that not only considers excellence in ministry but also promotes group diversity in terms of gender, racial/ethnic background, denominational affiliation, geography, educational experience, and theological perspective. To learn more about the Lewis Fellows program visit their website.

Youth Action Institute 2008
June 25-29
University of New Mexico
Albuquerque, NM

The YOUTH ACTION INSTITUTE is a summer-long opportunity for young people ages 16-26 to come together and learn from each other and from experts about everything from working with the media to organizing young people to taking action to end AIDS. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the campus of University of New Mexico, youth will hear speakers with living talk about their experiences with HIV and AIDS in the U.S. and around the world; develop skills in grassroots organizing, public health, advocacy, anti-stigma, and direct action; connect with other young people from around the country and work on ways to fight together to end AIDS. After the institute, each participant will carry out a grassroots organizing project to help make progress on a high-priority AIDS issue and build participation in C2EA. And after this summer, they'll help build new C2EA and youth advocacy networks all across the country.

If you have any questions, concerns or comments you can contact any of the people below. They can help you with sending links to agencies in your area to partner with, working on your application, and ideas for summer projects and just general questions about YAI 2008.
