"Becoming Trustworthy White Allies"
with Melanie Morrison
Melanie Morrison, social justice activist and educator, will discuss her new book, Becoming Trustworthy White Allies (Duke University Press, 2025). Pitfalls of trying to be an ally are many. But guides like Melanie’s book are clarion calls to solidarity and action. The work is for all to do. Be part of this frank conversation as you chart your own course as an ally and help others chart theirs. | |

"Let the Winter Go"
with Diann L. Neu and the WATER community
Winter can be difficult. There is more darkness than light, more despair than hope, more struggle than community. Our spiritual roots are tested. Ice and snow remind that a thaw and greening are around the bend. As the crocuses ready to peek out from the earth, and the birds return to singing, their promise invites us to pay attention to spring renewal. Join us to say goodbye to winter and welcome spring. | |

Be a Part of an Action-based Community
Become a WATER Intern for 2026!
WATER welcomes students from seminaries, universities, and colleges to work in the WATER Office. Interns engage in the full range of activities at WATER, from office work to program planning. They learn how to run a small non-profit and what it takes to nurture an Alliance. Interns wishing to do their own research have a chance to utilize WATER’s constantly growing Resource Center. They work with our experienced staff on projects. Interns must commit to a minimum of six weeks and can stay for as long as a year or more. Participants are encouraged to apply for academic credit from their home institutions for their work at WATER. We are delighted to work with programs which sponsor volunteers with expenses shared by WATER as the on-site placement.
