- What? Paid internship consisting of 32 hours/week for six weeks @ $10/hour. Fridays are off days with optional adventure opportunities available. Internship compatible with most college degree programs.

Intern job placement will be based on a student's major as well as relevant experience both in ministry and in the workplace. However, if a major doesn't exactly match a job opening, certain areas can be sufficed through adequate background experience.
Each Friday interns will be encouraged to participate in an unpaid growth activity (such as service projects, lunch and learns, and group outdoor activities) that will further develop their character. Students interested in the internship should be teachable, self-motivated, and able to multitask both short- and long-term projects, and above all, willing to be passionate advocates for children in poverty.
Apply now (before the May 15 application deadline) for this summer's internship in Colorado and put your talents, passion and energy into fulfilling God's mandate: "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed.
Speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice" (Proverbs 31:8-9, NLT).
