Summer Internships run for 11 weeks, beginning the day after Memorial Day.
A stipend is available to qualified applicants. Summer Interns live on-site to facilitate a deep sense of Christian community.
During this life-changing summer, you will grow in understanding homelessness, poverty, and ministry in the context of the urban core of Kansas City.
The Rescue Ministry Internship has the big picture in mind, namely, how to expose people to the rescue ministry at City Union Mission. This internship works behind the scenes, helping with outreach, Camp CUMCITO city-side processes (send-offs and returns), and family chapel. Over the course of the summer, interns rotate through multiple departments for exposure to the wide-ranging tasks involved in the day-to-day execution of rescue ministry work. These tasks can involve marketing, shelter management, administration, warehouse, security, finances, and development.
Expectations
There are some things to expect every day for the Rescue Ministry Intern: these include praying and growing in your relationship with Christ with other staff members, choosing your assignments based on your interest and desire to know more about, and learning how City Union Mission serves those in need. The Rescue Ministry Internship assignments can even be the focus of your major, or you can experience a full range of departments to show what a non-profit ministry looks like. In addition, the Rescue Ministry allows you to experience the needs of homelessness and urban poverty while serving with hope.
The Rescue Ministry Internship may be for you if you are:
- Interested in nonprofit work.
- Desiring to help those who are experiencing homelessness or poverty.
- Willing to work with gratitude and a cheerful heart.
- Interested in learning more about various areas of rescue/urban ministry.
