There are some unique ways in which college students can serve with CHAT. Since the early beginnings of CHAT, college students have been giving up their summer to come and serve the community. The experiences have always been life changing. The college internship program began during the summer of 2003 with one college student and in 2010 has grown to include 15 summer interns and 5 year-long interns.
- Summer Internship Program – This is a 10 week internship from late May to early August. Interns commit to live in the community, worship together, participate in a study program on topics related to urban ministry, and serve the youth at CHAT’s day camp and entrepreneurship programs. Please consider filling out the Summer Internship Program Application.
- Year Long Internship Program – This is a year-long commitment from August to August. Interns will be living communally, worshipping together, and serving at both the Church Hill Academy and After School Programs. Please consider filling out the Year Long Internship application.
Here are quotes from two interns, describing their experience.
CHAT has taught me so much about what it means to live in community, love others, and trust God. These are all things that I thought I knew before but this summer made me realize that I know very little. To say that this internship didn’t change the way I live my life would be a lie.
This internship has given me a much broader perspective on God’s Kingdom and the brokenness on earth. It has definitely also steered me in the direction of urban ministry and teaching, as well as increased my desire to live in and be a part of this sort of community.
