Sojourn Chaplaincy is now accepting applications for our Fall 2026 class.

Apr 10, 2026 | #Stories

Sojourn Chaplaincy at ZSFG is excited to announce the return of our Community Chaplaincy Training Program. Born in 1982 as a courageous DioCal-driven interfaith response to the AIDS crisis, the program continues to be shaped by the complex challenges of public health today. We are grounded in trauma-informed, justice-centered, and multi-faith spiritual and emotional care.

Our training is for those who feel called to care amid the painful realities of life and death. It is for people who feel called to care in community, among the most vulnerable and targeted, and within systems that are stretched and imperfect. Our students come from many paths and are united by a shared commitment to dignity, relationship, and compassionate presence.

If you feel the pull to deepen your practice of care in these times of great challenge, this program may be for you. Please visit our website for more details and to download an application. Applications for our justice-centered community chaplaincy training program are open today and will be accepted until Sunday, April 26, at 11:59 pm.

You can read more and download the application here.

Sojourn’s work is only possible through the support of our community circle of care.  Be a part of this community and help form the next generation of spiritual caregivers with a gift to Sojourn today.
