Current Students,
Are you wondering how you are called to work and serve in a community? Are you interested in exploring purpose, meaning, and vocation in a practical way? Do you want to take initiative and develop your gifts as you work with a Christian organization addressing community needs that are identified with their neighbors?
If so, we have a spring semester internship opportunity for you to consider: the Christensen Vocation Internship Program!
— Paid Internship with opportunity for a personalized role at a faith-based nonprofit or congregation in Minneapolis
— Ongoing communication and mentorship with knowledgeable site supervisors
— Reflect on your internship experiences, readings, and personalized assessments with a cohort of your peers
There are several sites available for the internship, with roles ranging from youth development to community organizing to emergency rental assistance with people experiencing homelessness.
