Summer Ministry Internship - Child Care/Youth Ministry

Summer Ministry Internship - Child Care/Youth Ministry 

May 28 - August 6, 2025

Touch the World is both a youth ministry and missions organization.  Experience the ins-and-outs of serving in ministry with us during this 10 week summer internship and explore your God-given calling and potential vocation!  This will not just be an opportunity for you to serve and grow in professional development in a ministry setting, we view this program as a ministry to you, as we providing guidance in helping you discern your next career or ministry steps.

As an intern, you will be part of our summer operations in one of our sites (NJ/PA).  We will match you with a staff member to serve as your mentor, based upon your area of interest in childcare and/or youth ministry.  You will assist with various tasks required to make our summer program—training youth teams for short-term missions participation—happen. 

Who is this for? 21-27 year olds, current college students/soon-to-be grads who are uncertain about their career path and are seeking vocational direction and who have a desire to explore youth ministry or missions.

This particular role is for those who love children! Our summer program runs 4 sessions where childcare is needed for staff and volunteer's little ones. Your task in setting up an age-appropriate schedule with activities make it possible for our staff and volunteers to serve easily without concern about their children. In addition to creating a childcare program, you will lead a group of young volunteers who will assist in running the program and caring for the various kid's needs. You will also get time each evening to participate fully in TTW's Missions Training evening rallies and join a group of other dedicated staff and volunteers in a true family experience you will never forget.

Expected Responsibilities:  Fully jump into our staff culture and team dynamics, weekly rhythms!  Be a team player and embrace our staff values:

• Combine Strengths
• Dream Big
• Spark Discovery
• Empathy in Culture
• Celebrate Success
