Internship Position
Internship Description: For eight weeks each summer approximately 70 to 80 interns from the U.S. and abroad gain practical experience in urban ministry. After their initial orientation, summer interns are divided into teams that aid in the operation of UrbanPromise's summer day camps. Through living and working in the community, interns have the opportunity to directly experience some of the issues surrounding urban ministry as well as to teach classes in certain areas such as Bible, art, or recreation. The spiritual and personal development of the interns is fostered through leadership training seminars, planning and programming workshops, worship, and staff devotions. Summer interns have the opportunity to be involved in the StreetLeader Program, Gospel Choirs as well as other summertime activities. Cross-cultural experiences and friendships are formed while living in a close-knit Christian community.
Year Round Internships:
Each fall approximately 10 to 20 interns commit to one year of service at UrbanPromise to assist in the day-to day operation of the year-round programs. These interns play a vital role in the development and continuation of the AfterSchool Program, StreetLeader Program, Choirs, and Discipleship Groups.
