Field Education HandbookHumanist Chaplaincy at Harvard
Office of University Chaplains Contact Person: Greg Epstein Project: The Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard is dedicated to building, educating, and nurturing a diverse community of Humanists, atheists, agnostics, and the non-religious at Harvard and beyond. We are among the most active Humanist/non-religious "congregations" in the US, and the student intern will get a unique opportunity to take on a leadership role in a community considered to be on the cutting edge of contemporary religion--and atheism. Programs the intern might work on include a "Good Without God" Community Service Initiative, regular graduate student social gatherings, interfaith dialogue, a parenting group for alumni, and much more. The Humanist Chaplaincy takes a warm, inclusive and pluralistic approach to community building -- diverse religious viewpoints are welcome at our programs -- however, it is strongly preferred that the student intern be self-defined as Humanist, atheist, and/or non-religious. Student Involvement: The student intern will work with the Chaplain in various aspects of community organizing, with special emphasis on outreach and student contact. Arts of Ministry Competencies: Pastoral Care and Counseling. Administration and Program Development. Supervision: Frequent consultation, with a face-to-face review weekly with the Chaplain. Number of Students: 1 Total Stipend: $4,000.00 Type of Stipend: work study (sc 1000) Notes: Student will be paid through work-study program or possibly directly from the site.
