Intern - Youth For Christ

Position Summary

The Intern position with Greater Iowa Youth for Christ is an educational and experiential opportunity to grow in non-profit operations and ministry leadership. We will discuss the major areas of leadership formation, ministry, development, and operations. Through this opportunity, you will get to see behind the curtain of how a ministry operates. Our desire is that this internship will allow you the time and exposure to discern if vocational ministry or nonprofit leadership are the appropriate assignment for you.

As a part of this internship, we will expect that you will serve alongside a site or ministry director to learn and perform all the duties required for excellence in that ministry role. We will also offer you opportunities to grow in your skillset and engage directly with students. This internship will grow you into more of a leader and help you see if ministry/non-profit leadership is a good fit for your future employment. Fundraising to your circle of influence will be part of the training you cover throughout this internship process.

This internship will go from September 1 - May 31.
