We’re always on the lookout for bright and energetic individuals to fill a range of dynamic internships. Our interns serve semester terms during Fall, Spring and Summer. The City Mission wants to prepare its interns for practical service and ministry, specifically that in an urban, crisis setting. You’ll learn how to minister to men, women and children in crisis, but it won’t be easy. We’ll give you responsibilities that we will hold you to. Don’t plan on a semester of making coffee, organizing or filing—we’ve got big plans for you!
Why should I intern at the Mission?
We’re all about multiplying ourselves and building into future leaders. We know the fresh insights and added enthusiasm that come from interns are crucial components to our ministry of serving those in need. If you’re looking for an internship that offers exciting and challenging projects, the Mission is the place for you. After you’ve received clear and structured training from our staff, we’ll deploy you to serve, lead and thrive.
Each semester, we offer urban ministry internships in the areas of:
- Adult Education & Job Readiness Training
- Bible Teaching
- Case Management
- Client Intake & Needs Assessment
- Development (Donor Relations, Event Coordination, Grant Writing, Marketing, etc.)
- Early Childhood Development
