The American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) Scholarship department is launching a search for the organization's Emerging Leaders Cohort in collaboration with the Healing and Transforming Communities programming of its Summer Passionary Institute (SPI).

The Emerging Leaders Program offers an opportunity to students between the ages of 18- 28 who are interested in developing themselves as leaders through advocacy, networking, organizing, and storytelling skills.

Through skill training and reflection throughout the academic year and unique service-based programming in the summer of 2026, Emerging Leaders will learn how to discern their vocation and apply the skills they gain to positively impact the communities they belong to and care for.

At the end of the cohort cycle, Emerging Leaders will join us for a paid retreat in May 2026, where they will present their projects and gear up for their summer internships through the Summer Passionary Institute.

Upon completion of the yearlong program, applicants selected for the cohort will receive a summer stipend from SPI and an additional scholarship from the ABHMS scholarship department.

Apply for the Emerging Leaders Cohort + Summer Passionary Institute today!

The deadline to apply is April 15, 2025.
