Youth Ministry Intern
June - August 2019 • Ocean Grove, NJ
What I liked
The community and team that I worked with was so welcoming and encouraging. It was a great atmosphere for ministry and allowed me to branch out in many new ways. I had many opportunities to lead, plan events, work with students, and collaborate with a team.
What I wish was different
I wish that we could have had more weeks of programming, but also understand that with a summer internship time is very limited.
Advice
I would like to advise others to take chances and get experience in whatever ways that they can, even if it means being 19 hours away from home for a summer!

Youth Ministry Intern
June - August 2018 • Ocean Grove, NJ
What I liked
I loved connecting with our students and how closely my team worked together. This opportunity was incredibly hands-on and truly gave us an understanding of full-time youth ministry.
What I wish was different
It is an extremely demanding job in regards to how much work truly goes into the job. If you aren't prepared for that, it can easily be overwhelming.
Advice
One piece of advice I would give is that it helps to understand your time is not your own and learning to rest well when you can will be essential to your success.
