No longer a community that simply offers Episcopal worship to a small group of Yale undergraduates, we have transformed this historic ministry to respond to the needs of the twenty – first century, in which young adults are the present of the church, not its future:

- Transforming undergraduate, graduate and professional students into disciples and leaders with an adult faith;
- Training the ordained clergy of the future to minister with and to the full range of young adults from 17 – 39;
- Supporting young adult Episcopalians over 21 in the local area to re-discover and co-create a vibrant church.

In all these activities our historic focus remains unchanged, “Knowing, Loving and Serving God.”

There are no specific instructions for joining our group, but we invite you to sign up for our e-blasts at the bottom of our website (http://episcopalyale.org/) to stay in the loop of our programming. We also have an Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/episcopalchurchatyale/) and a Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/EpiscopalChurchatYale/).

The Equity in the Job Search Symposium is an annual symposium that provides practical, hands-on workshops to assist graduate students and postdocs at all stages of the STEM job search. We integrate this career advice with data-driven discussions of gender bias to expand the conversation of gender bias to a larger population. The guiding principle behind the symposium is to overcome bias for all. We aim to impart to our participants the idea that everyone benefits from more inclusivity.
