  • to organize and build relationships with other faith based people and organizations

Based at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in Washington, DC, you will be welcomed into the family of Franciscans and Franciscan-hearted people.

As an intern, you will receive close mentorship from FAN staff to work and build skills in one or more of the following areas:

  • Climate and Economic Justice
  • Immigration
  • Peacemaking
  • Grassroots Organizing
  • Coalition-building
  • Facilitating public or on-line discussions
  • Legislative research
  • Community outreach

  • Policy advocacy

Interns should expect each day to look different and to attend occasional events outside of normal working hours.

Please email your resume and cover letter to info@franciscanaction.org. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. If a candidate is in the Washington, D.C. area and requires housing, room and board at a local community house as well as metro expenses to and from work meetings and events will be covered.

FAN is a grassroots, 501(c)3 non-profit organization amplifying the justice efforts of Franciscan-hearted people around the country.
