The Center on Faith and Justice Student Fellowship is rooted in our commitment to deepening the moral and spiritual dimensions of civic life. We believe meaningful political engagement, social and ecological justice, and healthy interior lives are interconnected. This fellowship invites students into a formative experience that blends spiritual grounding and personal reflection, civic action and political advocacy, and nonviolent resistance and community building. All students—of any or no faith tradition—are welcome.

What to Expect: Fellows will develop a capstone project based on their passions, highlighting the intersection of spirituality, civic engagement, and public service. Students will also participate in regular communal practices such as contemplative exercises, book discussions, and dialogues on spirituality and activism. The program offers hands-on training in nonviolent resistance and equips fellows to advocate for just social and economic policies.

Hear from Our Fellows:

“The CFJ Fellowship offers personal formation that supplements public policy and political education in ways not typically explored in a classroom. It builds connections between students who typically would not get to meet!”

“I began discouraged—now I feel grounded and powerful. The fellowship blended personal empowerment with spiritual resilience. I now feel more capable, confident, and less alone.”

“The fellowship provided a meaningful space to engage with people from diverse backgrounds and allowed a depth of learning I wouldn’t get through a single class alone.”
