Intern-in-Service

Are you looking for a post-graduation opportunity to broaden your spiritual horizons and hone your professional strengths? Every year, the CSC hires interns for a ten-month campus ministry initiative geared towards recent college graduates who seek to grow personally, professionally and spiritually, and to support the mission of the CSC.

Four Key Aspects of the Program

Formation

Our goal is to create self-aware and professional leaders who are ready to live the gospel through monthly group formation meetings, one-on-ones with a staff supervisor, spiritual direction, and designated time each week for spiritual and personal growth.
Service

To give of oneself is the definition of this Internship. Interns give their time and energy to serve the students at Washington University and provide an example for the students of what it means to be a Christian servant leader.
Community

The internship provides an intentional living community not only through housing, but also with an emphasis on prayer, bonding, and program planning.
Leadership

Interns are the role-models to the students they serve. Professional formation throughout the year will cultivate strength and awareness to areas in need of development. Ongoing training and a team environment is crucial to the transition into professional careers.
