Our interns have gone on to be successful in a variety of careers and vocations: lawyers, doctors, teachers, lay ministers, elected officials, as well as vowed religious and priests.

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