Young people of every faith are invited to apply for CLUE’s Young Religious Leaders Fellowship – a paid internship opportunity that runs 8 weeks from mid-June to early August.
As members of YRLF, college, seminary students and graduates learn about and practice faith-rooted organizing: a model of social transformation centered on faith that promotes government policies to protect the vulnerable and lift workers and their families into the middle class.
Fellows undergo intensive training in faith-rooted organizing and will work on an active social justice campaign under an experienced faith-rooted organizer. Fellows also enjoy rigorous spiritual development.
The fellowship emphasizes: teamwork; deep training; shadowing; hands-on, practical work; developing strong relationships with local religious communities and work leaders; and a thirst to change the world. The internship is demanding, fun, dynamic, high energy, creative, exciting, and life changing.

- Must be available to participate in-person and virtually in campaigns based in Los Angeles County or Orange County (presuming Covid is not still a threat).
