(No endorsement by me of any of these programs, of course - just trying to let information flow freely!)

Project Transformation is a faith-based non-profit organization associated with the United Methodist Church; Project Transformation provides an 8-week summer day camp, and a one-week activity-based overnight camp for urban children and youth.? The programs are at eight Dallas churches and one church in Sherman. Project Transformation is currently recruiting young adults for both our summer programs. They are paid AmeriCorps positions, which include a living stipend, education voucher, room, and board. Applicants must be in college, or recent graduates, and interested in urban ministry, especially with children and youth. Information about our organization and programs, including the application, are available at www.projecttransformation.org. Applications for the summer program are due by March 15th. [but I've heard that deadlines were extended, so you should contact them if you're interested.] If you have any questions about Project Transformation, or need any more information, please call 214-946-3600.

The Garrison Institute, a contemplative practice think tank in Upstate NY, is hosting a summer institute to bring together scientists who study the mind and contemplative thinkers - sounds fascinating. http://www.mindandlife.org/ml.summer.institute.html.

The Young Adult Ecumenical Forum is a grassroots, collaborative response to the lack of programming for young adults. The mission of the 2005 Young Adult Ecumenical Forum on Globalization and Poverty is two-fold: First, we will critically examine issues of contemporary concern within the context of the American Church. Second, we will use these contemporary issues as means to empower young adult ecumenical leaders. We will create space for dialogue rather than dogma, and, together,
visualize the role that justice-drive young adults can take within the church. The event will be August 11-14 at Eden Seminary, St. Lois, MO. The application deadline is May 1. You can access a PDF application here.

Pass the peace in 2005!

Disciples Peace Fellowship seeks young adults age 21 and older to travel the country this summer. If you have an interest in pursuing and teaching peace and working for justice, then this is the internship for you! You'll earn approximately $2,000 for the summer, plus most expenses. Room and board are provided by each region. Interns are expected to complete a written report/evaluation at the conclusion of the summer. The internship lasts from the end of May to the middle of August.
More importantly, you will be rewarded by the hundreds of contacts you will make with the youth of our church by working in CYF camps all over the United States.
