Abby Nathanson revisits RadioRotary to talk about the new Grace Year program that allows recent college graduates to spend a year of intentional living, focusing on spirituality, religion, and justice. Ms. Nathanson previously was interviewed on RadioRotary about another program that she has instituted, EPIC (Engaging People in Change), which provides leadership training for high-school students in northeastern Dutchess Country. Both programs are run from a base in Grace Episcopal Church in Millbrook, NY, although they are nondenominational, not especially Episcopalian. Grace Year is a year-long opportunity to live in a small community of young adults as they prepare for lifelong journeys of sustained leadership for the common good. Each of the five fellows, who are fully funded by local nonprofits and donations, spends 32 hours each week working with local organizations and also develops an independent project. During the year, the fellows live together along with Ms. Nathanson in the Grace Church vicarage. Applicants for the 2018-2020 year can apply at hello@graceyear.org or by phoning Ms. Nathanson at 845-420-4280.
