2023 United Thank Offering Grant Recipient - Emery Trust No. 335 Award — Episcopal Service Corps: Resiliency Training and Education

Emery Trust No. 335 Award — Episcopal Service Corps: Resiliency Training and Education: $81,000

During 2023-2024, approximately 100 young adults will embody Jesus’ Way of Love as volunteers through Episcopal Service Corps (ESC). An ESC year is rigorous, requiring corps members to learn and practice new personal and vocational skills and call upon deep reserves of resiliency and adaptability. Through education and professional direction, we propose intentionally nurturing these attributes in corps members to support their wellbeing and success.

This year’s focus for grant applications was projects addressing the worldwide incarceration crisis, specifically preventative programs and intervention, prisoner support outreach, prison reform work, or post-prison reentry.
