The Center for Social Flourishing is a new initiative of the Acton Institute that seeks to promote integral human development, access to the institutions of justice, and local, entrepreneurial solutions to poverty in both the United States and around the world. Our goal is to reframe the discussion from combating poverty to establishing the conditions of justice and social flourishing that enable people to create prosperity in their own families and communities. The Center’s work includes multimedia projects, research, and conferences and events. As an Emerging Leader with the Center for Social Flourishing you will assist with academic and journalistic research for multimedia and writing projects, assist in the logistical planning and execution of several lecture and/or film screening events, and assist with social media content creation.
In addition to their roles in their departments, interns will participate in 20+ graduate style seminars with affiliate and guest scholars. Past scholars have included Rev. Robert Sirico, Dr. Anne Bradley, Dr. George Nash, and Dr. Anthony Bradley. We desire for all Emerging Leaders Program participants to leave their time with us better equipped to make a moral defense for free enterprise. Through these seminars, participants develop a robust understanding of the Acton Institute's mission and vision.
All program participants also attend Acton University, our flagship conference, which brings together over 800 leaders from 80+ countries every year. Emerging Leaders are able to attend lectures and network with more than 60 lecturers from around the world.
This is not your typical internship program. We strive to provide participants with a rich educational formation and to engage them in substantive projects. Past Emerging Leaders have written for our magazine, Religion & Liberty, provided research and guidance on publications, assisted programs with impact measurement and strategy, managed events, and developed new systems and processes.
