Quaker Voluntary Service

Quaker Voluntary Service (QVS) is a new year-of-service program for young adults launching in Atlanta in the fall of 2012. Please notice that young people will be interested but service agencies also have a great opportunity to be involved and receive the helping hands and spirit of young volunteers.

QVS is open to any young person at least 21 years of age interested in living in intentional Quaker community, experiencing Quaker worship and process, and openly engaging questions of faith and service in the world. QVS interns will live together in community, simply, and immersed in Quaker spiritual practices. QVS will partner with agencies and organizations that offer direct support to marginalized individuals and communities, and that strive to transform unjust structures. QVS will place energetic and committed young people in full time positions in these agencies for 11 months (roughly the end of August 2012 through the end of July 2013). These QVS interns will receive housing, a food stipend, health insurance, training, and spiritual support from QVS. This year long experience has the potential to orient interns to a whole life committed to service and justice. We invite you to share this opportunity with any young person you know who may be interested and we especially invite your organization to consider serving as one of the pilot service placements for Quaker Voluntary Service (QVS). If interested in either opportunity, please contact Christina Repoley at christina@quakervoluntaryservice.org or 404-721-4787. For more information on QVS please visit quakervoluntaryservice.

First Five Freedoms is proud to join Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law, The Temple, and All Saints Episcopal Church for "Faith, Law, & Democracy: A Community Conversation on the Public Good and the Rule of Law" on Tuesday June 2. We hope you will consider joining us for this important discussion. Americans across the political spectrum are grappling with a shared unease: the feeling that something foundational is slipping. Trust in institutions is eroding. The norms that once governed public life are contested. And the concept of the public good — the idea that we share a common stake in fair, just, and accountable governance — is increasingly hard to find in our public discourse. This program brings together faith leaders, legal experts, and engaged community members for an evening of honest conversation about what is at stake. Hosted at All Saints Episcopal Church and co-presented by The Temple, Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law (GLRL), and First Five Freedoms, the event weaves together spiritual reflection, legal analysis, and civic dialogue to address one central question: What does it mean to protect the rule of law — and why does it matter for all of us, right now? The evening will include reflection, analysis, and discussion designed to:

Connect faith, law, and civic responsibility in an accessible, nonpartisan framework
Examine current challenges to the rule of law and their implications for democracy
Create space for authentic dialogue across perspectives and institutions
Foster relationships and identify opportunities for collective action
