The St. Joseph Worker Program is sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph. The Program empowers women, 21-30, committed to social change to respond to the needs of the times. The St. Joseph Worker Program fosters the self-empowerment of women through the values of the leadership, spirituality, social justice, intentional community and living simply, to allow them in the tradition of the Sisters of St. Joseph, to serve where the need is greatest. St. Joseph Workers (SJWs) form a small intentional community among themselves living in their own house. The larger community of Sisters provides hospitality, relationship, training, spiritual direction, and mentoring relationships for the SJWs throughout the year. Women advocate and work with victims of domestic violence, housing and resources for those experiencing homelessness, mental health advocates, education and social services.
