NEWARK ACTS

NEWARK ACTS, the young adult urban internship program of the Diocese of Newark, began its second year last month with the arrival of nine new interns, and the return of one. Like the class preceding them, this year’s interns bring with them diverse backgrounds and rich experiences. They’ve traveled from as far west as California, many hail from the Midwest, and for the next 11 months, they will work together for social change and personal transformation within our diocese. Join us in extending a warm welcome!

They're coming from Atlanta and Boston, Alaska and Texas, Wisconsin, Iowa, and New York State. One speaks both Mandarin and Arabic; another is a musician; yet another is discerning a possible call to ordained ministry. One has done mission work in Chile, another in South Africa. Starting August 23, they will spend the next 11 months working for social change and personal transformation as interns in NEWARK ACTS, the Young Adult Urban Internship Program of the Diocese of Newark.

After months of work by many people, NEWARK ACTS, the Diocese of Newark's new urban internship program which seeks to nurture young adults into becoming community leaders with a heart for ministry, is taking shape.
